You are playing wunderfull, but the melodie ( and the harmonie ) is't good to understand.

Please play ones a time a Hemony-carillon...

[duidelijkluid]

What is wrong with the sound of this bells?

[CathedrlCarillonneur]

Ah, thank you for the clarification! While there is nothing "wrong" with the sound of the bells per se, their major-third tuning is different from traditional minor-third tuned carillon bells. This was an experimental technique by the Royal Eijsbouts founary in Holland. While not everyone likes the sound of them, I believe the sound of ringing bells is beautiful, regardless of their partial overtones.

Rara klokken....wat is er hier mis...?

[CathedrlCarillonneur]

Sorry, I don't speak Dutch and not sure what you are asking.

[1lonlyferret]

Do you teach?

Woah...nice. I didn't even know that there was such an instrument! I wish the bells in my city were as well tuned (not that they couldn't use improvement...my ears aren't THAT bad!). I swear, those out-of-tune hymns in my city every Sunday are probably enough to turn people off to religion all by themselves...

[CathedrlCarillonneur]

Thanks :)

What city do you live in and do you know what bells you're hearing?

[photoeditingchicken]

I live in Rome...but Rome, Georgia, United S, lol. I have no idea what kind of bells they are. Lol, they may be a bad combination of 2nd & 3rd bells...

[MydnytKitsune]

[CathedrlCarillonneur]

It's called a carillon. A set of 52 tuned bronze bells in a church tower.
