This is based around a Dutch company which
is still making bells and has just sold a carillon to China. They
Also made a new bell for Notre Dame de Paris
recently. The science of bell mailing is
fascinating.
For fans of Andre Rieu, the portable carillon
In the photo was made for Frank Steyns, one
of his violinists who also plays carillons.
A local Sydney note: the exhibition about
Notre Dame showed that the original plan
was for spires on the 2 towers above the
entrance. Unlike St Mary's in Sydney, they
never bothered to build them.
I would have enjoyed that bell museum! Hopefully Sydney's storm damage will be cleared up by tomorrow (see my yesterday's comments). Bring on the warmer weather again - hopefully it'll be back to sunny Sydney for you on Sunday! Elaine
ReplyDeleteIn the interest of completeness, it is sunny in Antwerp and the forecast for the weekend is sunny and 20 degrees.
DeleteIt's lucky no beach fell on your house. Somebody here said there was a story on TV about snow in Audtralia now. Where is that?
DeleteI have a big branch blocking the nature strip outside my front gate - thought I'd best wait till tomorrow to ring the council to see if they'll chop it up and take it away! It's their tree! Thankfully no damage. Elaine
ReplyDeleteIf its outside your gate, isn't it their problem? You could just tell them and let them work out what to do. Paul
