<P><B>MIDDELBURG - On Saturday 5 July 2008 the Nederlandse Klokkenspel-Vereniging organizes in cooperation with and on the initiative of the <I>Roosevelt Academy</I> in Middelburg an International Carillon Competition on the carillon of the Abdijtower in Middelburg. The carillon is installed in the top of a high, fairly open tower and has a standard North-European <A href="javascript:ver('The standard North-European keyboard','middelburg_1_2')"><U>keyboard.</U></A></B></P>
<P>The instrument is tuned in equal temperament and consists of 49 <A href="javascript:hor('Some of the bells of the carillon in Middelburg','middelburg_1_3')"><U>bells</U></A>, that is four octaves without c#<SUP>1</SUP> but with b-flat<SUP>0</SUP> and e-flat<SUP>1</SUP> in the pedal. The carillon tranposes a minor third down. One bell was cast in 1715 by the founders Noorden & De Grave and 23 were made by <A href="javascript:hor('Bells cast by Van Bergen','middelburg_1_4')"><U>Van Bergen</U></A> in 1950. Royal Bell-foundry Eijsbouts in Asten added 25 bells in 1984.</P>
