carillonneur
Plays tuned bells
A carillonneur is a person who plays a carillon—a set of tuned bells in a tower, operated from a keyboard.
The instrument requires striking wooden batons with the fists and pedals with the feet, demanding both musical skill and physical strength.
The carillonneur played hymns from the church tower every Sunday.
