Page "Carillon" Paragraph 28

There is no standard pitch range for the carillon.

In general, a concert carillon will have a minimum of forty-eight bells.

The range of any given instrument usually depends on funds available for the fabrication and installation of the instrument: more money allows more bells to be cast, especially the larger, more costly ones.

Older carillons can be transposing instruments, generally transposing upward.

Most modern instruments sound at concert pitch.

A carillon clavier has both a manual and a pedal keyboard.
