Thanks, will do!

When it played the national anthem I started tearing up. This is what we need all across the nation.

[@GTBock_Official]

That warms my heart to hear that remark!
I completely agree more Carillons should play the National Anthem!
Cheers!

I would love to see more videos like this. I am a huge fan of Verdin carillons.

I have another video of a Verdin clock. It is also a tower built by them.

The Westminster chime sounds like real bells, while the National Anthem sounds like it's electronic.

[@erikbunty2016]

BTW, why didn't it strike the hour?

[@GTBock_Official]

The Westminster Chime was also Electronic.
Verdin Electronic Carillons have sampled recordings of real bells.

Must have programmed Noon differently, I found out myself when I visited at 4 PM one day. It did the strike. If you are interested in hearing the strike, you can see the 4PM Westminster and Strike of the same clock here.

I love bells btw why does it sounds like a 1950s bell to me

[@GTBock_Official]

I honestly don’t know, but it’s a 2017 Verdin Electronic Carillon.
