Maas-Rowe G-123 Grand Symphony Carillon, removed from Otero Junior College, Colorado
It works perfectly, and I can provide on-site verification of its perfect working status to the buyer in person or over the phone. The $4900 price at which this is offered is quite a steal. This symphonic carillon cost Otero Junior College $28,000 when it was installed new in the 1960s. The equivalent of that today is over $100,000. Sonically, this is pure gold as well.
INCREDIBLY EXTENSIVE AND BEAUTIFUL chime/bell unit that plays 4 different kinds of rod chimes/bells, totaling 123 chimes. See pictures for further details. If you are a serious buyer, you will know what a rare opportunity and good deal this is. It has everything you need to hear it, even an external speaker that can be used in conjunction with its current monitor speaker. If you plan to mount this in a church and amplifiy it through a bell tower, 4 large tower speakers/horns can be provided to a buyer at an additional cost of $250/each, plus shipping.
Chime bell types include:
37 Major bells (combined with minor bells, comprises the Symphonic Carillon)
49 Minor bells (combined with major bells, comprises the Symphonic Carillon)
11 Westminster chimes
37 Flemish bells
One of the two large wood-paneled cabinets is the amplification section, which includes five power amplifiers, one of which is for powering the monitor speaker, and four of which are for powering tower speaker horns in a belfry, facing in four separate directions.
The other of the two large wood-paneled cabinets houses Maas-Rowe Chronobell system, which is the timing and roll-playing system.
The Westminster chimes have their own cabinet.
The Flemish chimes have their own cabinet
The minor bells and major bells are all housed in the carillon console itsetf.
This auction includes 15 mylar player rolls, which play perfectly in the Chronobell cabinet. There are about 8-12 songs on each roll, so you'll have about 120-180 songs total.
Also comes with three copies of the key to turn the symphonic carillon on and off, as well as four copies of the key needed to open and close the two cabinet doors. These keys cost me over $200, as an on-site locksmith was required to make them.
Several of the
pictures are of the cabinets before I cut and replaced their dark
plexiglass panels over the doors. The last picture shows the new
plexiglass panels, which are much more durable and better looking.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own one of the most extensive carillon systems Maas-Rowe built.
Dimensions TBA.
Freight or local pickup only, and all such expenses are the buyer's cost and responsibility. Local pickup preferred, as freight will likely be expensive, because there are four heavy and large items here.
