Bryan Hall Carillon, Washington State University, Pullman, Washington - Carillon on Waymarking.com

Bryan Hall uses a "Maas-Rowe Carillon" that "controls the bells that ring from the clock tower" according to the facilities web page. What they do not tell you is that the bells you hear are digital recordings of a 256 bell carillon from somewhere else.

However, the original 56 bell carillon is still in place in the building and could be used according to an article in the WSU Today newsletter, page 3 (PDF) that was published in June of 2002. That article notes that the current carillon uses the amplifier of the original system but not the bells. The bells that are heard here now are actually from a digital sound system.

Apparently the musician who played the original retired or moved on and the bells were silent for about 20 years before the installation of the Mass Rowe system.

Bryan Hall was the second building built on the campus of Washington State University and is used by the universities International Programs and Philosophy Departments.

The building retains its original design aspects and is considered to be a "vaudeville" style house.
