This generally accomodates songs in Eb Major, Ab Major, and F Minor. The bells are played by means of levers arranged in a console on the second level of the tower connected by wires to the bells on the top level. Pushing down on the lever pulls the clapper on the end of the wire which rings the (bell. The bells remain stationary) while they are being rung from the console. The lowest bellis also movable and can be tolled by means of a rope.  See [http://wso.williams.edu/PhotoShare/album?id=278 pictures] on Photoshare.
With each hand playing one note simultaneously, plus foot pedals attached to the three lowest notes, limited counterpoint and/or harmony are possible.
