The Exhibition Place Carillon (originally the Carlsberg Carillon) is a carillon located at Exhibition Place in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

History

In 1974, Carling-O'Keefe Breweries provided funding for the construction of the 50-bell carillon.[1] The bells were cast by the Royal Eijsbouts foundry of Asten in the Netherlands.[2] The largest bell (the bourdon) weighs 4800 pounds.[3] The instrument transposes up a perfect fourth from concert pitch.[4] Four of the large bells including the bourdon are equipped with outside hammers to sound the Cambridge Quarters while the bourdon strikes the hour.Шаблон:Citation needed Part way up the tower is a compartment with figures of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale "The Swineherd"; upon activation, these figures could be moved from one side of the tower to the other, but the mechanism is no longer functional.[5] When the carillon was built, it was played most days of the week during the Exhibition summer season.Шаблон:Citation needed The current carillonist is Gerald Martindale.Шаблон:Citation needed Шаблон:- The original plaque reads:
