  urlLink Got a chance to go up the Robert H.  Lurie Bell Tower yesterday evening .  the Lurie Tower located on the North Campus Diag is a 165- foot tall poured concrete structure with a veneer of bricks and ceramic tile and a copper roof and cladding .  the tower is actually a Carillon,  a musical instrument consisting of at least two octaves of cup-
shaped carillon bells,  arranged in chromatic series,  and played from a keyboard that allows variation of touch .  there are a total of 60 bells,  the largest being about seven feet in diameter and weighing close to 6 tons and the smallest about seven inches in diameter and weighing only 20 pounds .  the picture above shows a couple of the bigger size bells .
 and the bells which can be heard quite a distance away do sound real loud up there !  also the view of ann arbor from up there is quite mesmerizing & nbsp;  urlLink
