C Major Pentatonic (A3-C5)

The Tubular Bells are a bold and visually impressive outdoor musical installation that combines architectural presence with powerful sound. This set of seven towering aluminum bells is tuned to the C Major Pentatonic scale (A3-C5) and produces deep, resonant tones that can be felt as well as heard.

Supplied with large tethered mallets, the Tubular Bells create an engaging sensory experience that extends beyond music alone. Each strike generates powerful vibrations that travel through the bells and into the surrounding environment, allowing sound to be experienced physically. When arranged in a horseshoe formation, visitors can stand or position a wheelchair within the center of the installation to become surrounded by both sound and vibration, creating a uniquely immersive and inclusive experience. Combining musical interaction, architectural form, and sensory engagement, the Tubular Bells function equally well as a musical instrument and a piece of playable public art.
