=== GCNA Members Only Samples ===
2012 Ronald Barnes Memorial Scholarship winner Ed Herrmann created high-quality recordings of the carillon bells at the University of Chicago's Rockefeller Memorial Chapel. These recordings are available to all GCNA members, and are useful to provide bell sounds for the carillon [[Practice_Clavier|practice keyboard]].

You can set up both Macs and PCs to boot and start the sample playback when powered on. This violates many security best practices so make sure that the system is not connected to a network (and WiFi is turned off), and not used for any other tasks.
