  • Crap bells/

  • unfortunately, the computer-bells sound horrible!  :-(

  • there are no real bells after the church burned down. the replicated it and put in this system.

  • I was there one time. and every hour it plays it was in may and it played hail holy queen the organist there sets it. and if your saying the bells are terrible who cares you gotta take a look at the organ there.. 3 manuals , horizontal trumpets and everything

  • Most of these electronic systems have these awful "harp bells" which is what you're hearing at 1:38. The "carillon music" is often one note at a time, so the harp bells fill in the chords. They have no concept of how a carillon is actually played. I'm sure that there is a real bell or two in the tower, but these days nobody cares about quality or authenticity. It's cheaper to put in speakers than it is to renovate a weakened bell frame.

  • The sound at the beginning of the video... ugh! What is that noise at 1.40???!

    I might sound like a snob, but When you are used to real bells, stuff like this is just awful sounding. It might be cheaper than a real set of bells at first, but when you consider that metal bells last hundreds of years then it will be a good investment. I regularly ring a bell that was cast about the year 1410 (you can hear it on my video "my home tower"

    Plus this tower looks sturdy enough for swinging bells!

  • Schulmerich has been in love with the low G pitch since the 50's (the first sound on this video). If this were a real bell, it would be about 8 feet in diameter.

  • IMHO, Maas-Rowe are the worst-sounding "bells" in the industry. They still use bronze rods like they did sixty years ago and they sound the most artificial among the competition. Some of the best electronic bells I've heard were from Van Bergen, but still nothing comes close to the real thing.

  • Too right!!!!!

    These bell systems all sound fake.

  • I used to live right there on 17th, my parents are still there, and my sister teaches at the school.
