THE TRAVELLING CARILLON OF PRAGUE
The instrument is real "Concert Carillon" which conforms to International Standard. Mechanical keyboard is side oriented in the middle of the carillon, so that bells are dislocated regularly in the whole space. Listeners may watch the carillonneur directly and at the same time enjoy his playing. The next parallel playing system consists of electromagnetic hammers, controlled by CAMPA APOLLO computer. In the memory there are more than 100 music compositions. The carillon has its own illumination, amplifier with loudspeakers and microphone. The interface of TV camera is available. The batteries supply much energy for 120´concert. Mains supply 220V/10A connection, if needed.
