Mathis, chairman of the UNC-C Fine Arts Department, visited Princeton, New Jersey for a companology school. Dr. Mathis, a skilled musician, practiced the art of carillon playing as the guest of the Schulmericli Carillon Company. He will teach others to play the instrument after its installation. The UNC-C instrument known as the “Americana” Carillon consists of 183 miniature bell units of bronze bell metal, which are struck by metal hammers, producing exact true bell tones almost inaudible to the human ear. These bell vibrations are then amplified over one million times, producing true bell music with all the depth and richness of traditional cast bells of massive proportions. According to the manufacturer, the instrument provides the otnal equivalent of more than 100,000 pounds of cast bells tuned to the finest standards. Included will be five chromatic octaves or 61 Flemish bells; five chromatic octaves or 61 Celesta Cells; and five chromatic octaves or “Harp” bells. Tunes can be played automatically as on a player piano or by a performer from a console. The hour can also be struck. Dr. Colvard plans to name a committee to make plans for the use of the carillon. The Flemish-tuned bells were the first bells capable of playing harmony. The entire range is said to be rich and brilliantly clear. The Celesta bells have a keen and brilliant timbre. They serve three main uses — in solo or chordal passages, as an accompanimental set of bells, and in conjunction with the harp bells. The main function of the Harp bells is to lend accompaniment to the solo bells of the Flemish tuning. However, they are sometimes used as a separate voice in solo. They present an ethereal harp sound. No. 3 of the UNC-C News College Phillips 66 1/2 mile North of UNC—C on 49 minor tune-ups and repairs.
