Carillon
Canadian town name
A carillon is a set of tuned bells, typically housed in a church tower or bell tower, played from a keyboard that allows a single musician to produce melodies and harmonies.
The bells are struck by hammers connected to the keys and pedals, much like an organ.
Carillons are associated with European civic and religious buildings, where they mark time and play music for public occasions.
The carillon rang out across the square at noon.
