About This Project

Christoph Paccard Bell Foundry designed this tuned bronze peal of five carillon bells and the unique visual mounting design for Indiana Wesleyan University.

The largest carillon bell is an E3 of approximately 2,400 pounds and the five carillon bells together ring out a Westminster Clock Chime, hours strikes and celebratory peals for special occasions and funeral tolls for those somber occasions.

The carillon bells are mounted onto a corner of Indiana Wesleyan University’s Chapel-Auditorium.

The carillon bells bring a special campus atmosphere and a reverent feeling to the students, staff, and visitors to the university’s main campus.
