[Bell Historians] Carillon

[Mark Walker]

The 64' at Atlantic City has been made playable again and is 
available on this CD:

A sub is certainly needed to get anywhere near hearing it and even 
then it's not really a true representation. Well worth a listen 
though, as well as for the other tracks.

There is a sound clip of the 64' reed at Sydney on the web at:

PC speakers won't give a real idea, but it's still impressive.
