Carillon
The Hyechon Tower Carillon has seventy-eight bells of various sizes. It is the largest carillon of 6.5 octaves in the world. The combined weight of the bells exceeds fifty tons. Holland's Royal Bell-foundry Petit and Fritsen Ltd. made the biggest bell, which weighs ten tons and makes the lowest sound, over twenty-one months. The carillon is played with levers and pedals connected to the bell pendulums with steel wire. Carillon music has been described as 'heavenly' due to its large spherical sound, and Hyechon Tower's bells can be heard from within three kilometers. It also can be played manually or automatically through computer programs. So the Hyechon Tower Carillon is regularly played three times a day at nine in the morning, midday, and six in the evening.
The Guinness Book of World Records Limited authenticated Hyechon Tower Carillon to be the largest in the world on the fifth of July, 2004. Hyechon University is proud to have the honor of being acknowledged in the Guinness Book of World Records.
