The instrument consists of at least 23 cast bronze cup-shaped bells which are played serially to produce a melody or together to play a chord. A traditional manual carillon is played by striking a keyboard—the stick-like keys of which are called batons—with the fists and by pressing the keys of a pedal keyboard with the feet. The keys mechanically activate levers and wires connected to metal clappers which strike the bells." <br /> <br />Here this Carillon "was installed and inaugurated in the presenced of His Excellency the Viscount Willingdon Governor General of Canada at noon on the first day of July 1927 on the occasion of the celebration of the sixtieth anniversary of the Confederation of Canada." <br /> <br />Uncommon no copies located on OCLC.
