WATCH: Musician Plays Bells High Atop Carillon

An observation platform at the Netherlands Carillon in Arlington — once open to the public — has been closed for several years now due to its deteriorating condition. The only person allowed up, aside from NPS officials, is the carillonneur, who plays the chimes and bells on a keyboard similar to an organ or piano. Here, carillonneur Edward Nassor rings the bells.
