  • An enormous tower filled with 100 tons of bronze bells, some the size of a car, that you play with a massive keyboard at the top of the tower.

    My college has a set of carillon bells. 48. I managed to take a class on it and we got to bring in our own music to play.
    Thing is that we didn't have practice bells so to practice, we had to schedule time slots to go up and play it. We picked out two songs for midterms and finals and played them respectively for our professor, the main carillonneur at the time.
    I absolutely loved hearing others play even if they messed up.
    I remember walking to class in pouring rain one day and someone in the tower played 2-2 from Mario. It made my miserable walk so much better!

      Likewise, the Memorial Student Union building at my university had a set of carillon chimes up in its tower. The system went defunct at some point, though (lack of proper maintenance over the long term, I bet). So, while I was there (during the 1990s), it was all pulled out and replaced with speakers on the roof that play electronic carillon recordings. It's sad (I'm an historian and sentimentalist) but, admittedly, the argument that the "fake" chime music is preferable to the silence formerly offered by the broken genuine article has merit. People still look at me skeptically when I point out the space in the building where the carillonneur's console used to be.

    9:58 is a terrific example of how microphones cannot capture all aspects of a sound, particularly loud ones. This is why gunfire (for example) sounds very different on film as opposed to real life.
    EDIT: For all the dweebs saying "ACKSHUALLY...", **yes,** I'm well-aware that the sound of gunfire can be reproduced with reasonable accuracy, but it requires that the sound engineer have knowledge of the sound system that will be used and that it be properly configured.

    You can never escape

    There’s a man who lives
    Up among the bells
    Where no one can hear

    He’s a hundred years old
    He’s as ugly as sin

    And the punishment due
