Bournville

the bells of the Bournville Carillon are made from the customary bronze alloy of copper and tin. Centuries of experimenting has proved that this combination of metals produces the best musical tone. The bells weigh a total of 17.5 tons, the largest being the bourdon at 3.4 tons, and the smallest being the treble bell at 12lbs (5.5kg). Bournville Carillon is the largest in Great Britain, having 48 bells across 4 octaves
