Bellframe with carillon console in the
middle. The carillonneur sits in the middle of
the bells so that the wires connecting the playing console to the bell clappers
can be kept as short as possible to give the
carillonneur maximum
control over the way the bells are struck.

The connection between the baton of a
carillon console and the bell
clapper.
The
clapper is positioned close to the bell so that the carillonneur only has to move it a small
distance when playing. Drawing used
with the kind permission of the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America. |
