How bells does Allegro play? |

|
Allegro rings with five octaves of bells and a matching five
octaves of handchimes. This is a total of 61 bells and
61 chimes. If you were to look at a piano keyboard, the
bells would range from two octaves below middle C to three
octaves above middle C.
Schulmerich Carillons of Sellersville, Pennsylvania forged our bells,
some of which are about forty years old. Malmark Bellcraftsmen in
Plumsteadvill, Pennsylvania manufactured our handchimes, which were donated by an anonymous supporter in 1998.
