Summary

Description
English: The Exhibition Place Carillon in 2015 - In‭ ‬1974‭ ‬the Carlsberg Company of Denmark provided funding for the construction of the‭ ‬50‭ ‬bell carillon.‭ ‬The bells were cast by the Royal Eijsbouts foundry of Asten,‭ ‬Holland.‭ ‬The largest bell weighs‭ ‬4850‭ ‬pounds and the instrument transposes up a perfect‭ ‬fourth from concert pitch.‭ ‬Four of the large bells are equipped with outside hammers to sound the Cambridge Quarters and hour strike.‭ ‬A unique feature of this carillon is that when the steel screen near the bottom of the tower is open,‭ ‬figures representing characters of the Hans Christian Anderson fairy tale,‭ “‬The Swineherd‭”‬ parade from‭ ‬one side to the other.‭ ‬When the carillon was built,‭ ‬it was played most days of the week during the Exhibition but is now rarely played.
