Today was an exciting day as our Team Members helped to move Oakland University‘s 49-bell practice carillon through campus. The practice carillon that we relocated is almost identical to the performance carillon that will be housed inside the new 151 foot tall Elliot Tower that will have regular live playing schedule this fall. This odd-looking keyboard console is the heaviest of all extant musical instruments and its music requires a lot of muscle to play. The pounding of the batons with clinched, bare fists and the stomping on the pedals can be a total body workout. Coincidently enough, moving of this beautiful piece of equipment can be an equally exhausting total body workout. Luckily, Professional Movers.com Team Leaders Danial Parker and James Crowley were on-site to offer strength and moving expertise to safely position it into its new location. We look forward to stopping back on campus to listen to University Carillonneur, Dennis Curry and Oakland University Music students as they serenade students with the marvelous bells. The bells and the clock-related equipment have been manufactured by The Verdin Company of Cinncinatti and the Royal Bellfoundry of Perir & Fritsen, Netherlands.
