There are four balconies that look out over the Gardens and the surrounding area. This level houses the 60-bell carillon and a soundproof playing cabinet for the keyboard. Level 7 – Carillon Bells & Playing Cabinet On the floor just below is a practice carillon which uses tone bars instead of bells and allows rehearsal without the music being heard in the Gardens. Recording equipment and carillon recordings are stored at this level. The library contains many of Edward Bok’s writings and is the largest collection of carillon history and music in the world including the Guild of Carillonneurs in North America Archives and the Ronald Barnes Collection.
Some of their tasks include polishing the Great Brass Door, maintaining the carillon, and servicing the elevator. Our Facilities & Operations team use this workshop when working on projects within the Tower. Today, we use modern irrigation so these tanks are now used for storage. Two large tanks housed on this level were once used to irrigate the Gardens with water that would flow from the roof of the Singing Tower. This dedicated archival room houses the correspondence, papers, plans, photographs and historic objects of the Gardens including the guest register signed by President Coolidge and Edward Bok on February 1, 1929. A 211-step wrought-iron and steel staircase begins on this floor and an original Otis electric elevator is still in operation today. The first level of the Singing Tower contains a fireplace, antique furniture and a ceramic tile floor.
