The municipality of Dordrecht has purchased the former French Paccard traveling carillon from the ARPAC foundation. This carillon has 50 bells based on c2 (g1, BES1, c2, d2, chrome -. C6) and will be placed in the tower of the Old Town Hall.
The carillon will be used as an added touch for the many marriage ceremonies which take place in the Town Hall and will be played during the weekly markets on Fridays and Saturdays. In addition, giving the carillon an adjustable reverb plates or blinds, will make it possible for the Carillon Institute Holland (which is based in Dordrecht) to use it for teaching and practice purposes.

Finally, the bells will be attached to a linear Clavion and will therefore be the world’s first linear tower keyboard.
