If you can play the piano, read music, and climb two flights of steep stairs, you have the tools required to “play” the bells in St. Paul’s tower. Made up of 11 bells—C4 to D5, plus F sharp and B flat—these bells are played by means of a carillon console (i.e. wooden levers serve as keys). The carillon console in the first-floor tower room and the bells are played before and after Sunday services as well as for special weekday services, ringing out over downtown London.
