electronic Churchbell playing devivces

If you've been curious about these electronic churchbell devices, then you can find a ton of them on Youtube. I didn't place the videos up there or make them, but I thought it was a great way to find out info on them and what they sounded like. It sure beats getting yelled at by the minister or anyone else at the  church that I have asked about their bells.

Curiosity on Church Chimes and bells.

I admit that I was curious about those wonderous and harmonious sounding bells often heard during church services.  I look in the steeple and figure that the church must have some type or carillon somewhere? From my experience, turns out that they don't have a carillon, but an electric carillon device that plays recordings of the bells. At the  most within their steeple is the speakers or megaphones that the bell music is piped to. But from other videos I've seen on Youtbe, I've gotten a better idea of what it's like up there, as naturally I would get in big trouble if I went up there myself. I've seen the giant Cathedrial chimes that are usually hung high on the wall just above a special organ that controlls the chimes. I just wanted to find out what those sounds were and how those bells are played and where churches keep them. Mostly I admit of being afraid of getting yelled at by the minister or someone working in the church, just because I wanted to find their churchbells. I had gotten yelled at harshly by a male minister at a Trinity church I had gone to from a bell related incident, so as a result I'm never going back to that church again.

Our Savior Church-Centereach ny

I came across a website of the Out Savior Church In Centereach Ny. This is one of the churches that had played churchbells on a Scotia bell electronic carillon system that was within their main office mounted into the wall. It was a tall unit. Although they did play wonderful churchbell music at around 12:15 p.m. everyday, It was silenced once day , due to the numerous people who complained of the bell's annoyance, disturbance, and loudness. I loved those bells dearly and missed them. It took years of searching the internet to find the bell system that matched the bell music it had once played. The bell music was a perfect match. I had reciently e-mailed them a letter asking about their bells and why they had  gotten silenced. Guaranteed, I will either get an angry e-mail response from them telling me that I'm not supposed to ask that question, or they may not reply at all. Anyway, at least I found the bell system and a sample recording of it's music, so the memory can live within me.

Chime Master Systems

I was very interested to learn more info on one of these electronic churchbell systems. So, I had sent away for info on the Chime Master Systems. They had sent me a folder with tons of info and a demo CD, of some of their churchbell music samples that  can be played in any cd player. Of course the other cd's they sell  can't be played on outside cd players, as they are formatted to be played within their chime master bell systems. The System has tons of bell recordings and songs permanently programmed within the system. It sounds like it's very easy to set up, but it's  very expensive. Mostly you would have to own a church to order from them, but I just wanted more info about it. It does sound like a wonderous thing to have. Not only that, I think that they also have a special organ, where the system is mounted within the organ, enabling the church musician to play the bells manually. However this can cost about $10,000. There's no way I can afford that, but the info is priceless.  check out their website for more info http://www.chimemaster.com/.

Names of Churchbell playing devices I know played by churches

From the churches I've gone to, I've heard their beautiful bell music, and wanted to know the name of the church bell system they used to play their bells. Obviously, it's all electronic and pre-programmed and set to play at certain times. But at first, the earlier bell systems were giant tape decks towers that played giant cassette tapes containing the recording of the bell music . So this is just something I had learned and discovered and nocticed.  Mostly this interest is of myself, and upon hearing the bells, I can recognize the company by hearing it's music. So heaven forbid the  churches had silenced their bells, at least knowing  the bell system will continue to help rekindle my memories of the bell music that I once heard.

electronic chuchbells

This does make it easier for churches to play bell music to spread about their message of hope, peace, and the joy of our lord Jesus Christ. But  my curiosity back then was how it was done, and where they would place such a device. Interesting that sometimes  I managed to get a glimpse of what their bell system was, as I learened what they looked like on the internet. The whole reason I wanted to know about what chuchbell system certain chuches had was to look it up on the internet for more info about it.
So even if the church desides or something happends to their bell system and the bells get silenced. I'll know the name of the churchbell system a specific church used and then have a reference of it on the internet. Sometimes the webiste may have a few downloadable samples of what their churchbell system sounds like. So It's a perfecf way for me to remember those bells, since  they don't sell Cd's of electronic churchbell music in the stores.
            One day, I happen to notice that the Plainview church's bell system and I remember the same Sanyo written on the device. I checked out the website of Sanyo and their sound systems. They do play churchbell music, but they don't have it available to listen to online. These churchbells are a memory for me as I heard them when I was young, and don't want to lose them in the future.

REJOYCE! LOST CHURCHBELL MUSIC FOUND THAT ONCE PLAYED AT CHRIST CHURCH IN PORT JEFFERSON STATION NY ON TERRYVILLE ROAD

Within Youtube, I've discovered a video of A Vintage 1969/1970 Schulmeric Electronic Carillon playing their bells. Upon hearing it's music, it's the exact sounding churchbell music heard from the Christ Church in Port Jefferson Staton on Terryville Road. I have been heartbroken since their bells had been silenced. And now I finally know the name of their churchbell system that they have.
