Playing a 100-Ton Instrument with Fists #Carillon #MusicTech #Shorts @amouranth - Video

Ever seen a carillon? This massive instrument at the University of Chicago features 72 bells weighing 100 tons of bronze. Instead of using fingers like a piano, you play this keyboard instrument with your fists. Each key is connected to a wire that moves a clapper to strike a bell. It is a mechanical marvel that gives the player complete control over the sound, allowing for everything from gentle taps to powerful, neighborhood-shaking strikes.
