Putting pen to paper

The client's requirements play a central role when a carillon installation is being designed and calculated. At Eijsbouts we are able to call on extensive knowledge and experience to assist the client in formulating specific ideas. If necessary we can provide all the information required during the process. Artistic input, the carillon's action and advice regarding the timbre of the bells are all important aspects. Equally important to the plan are the towers of the building for which the installation is intended, not to mention the available budget. That is why we respond to every enquiry with a detailed quotation and, most importantly, a working plan in which the client's expectations are fully represented. Further consultation and subsequent amendment will be followed by a definitive design.

Attention to history

The approach sketched above applies particularly in regard to restoration activities. During recent years, Eijsbouts has demonstrated its expertise in this very specialised discipline by successfully restoring various large carillons, automatic playing drums and clocks. Eijsbouts conducts thorough research into the original historical circumstances of the tower and its makers, and all restoration is carried out with close attention to these insights.

The client's wishes

After careful measurement and analysis of the circumstances, Eijsbouts provides a recommendation taking into account the specific requirements of the client and its consultants. The project will be started as soon as an order has been issued and all details have been documented in a drawing.
