While at Juilliard I took some photos of the percussion instruments and room.   The bells blew me away!   They are smaller than others I’ve seen, but beautiful.

When I was visiting Juilliard, one of the students was playing Luciano Berio “Circles” – this is the Lujon they were using.   Unlike so many of the one’s I’ve heard in the past, this one sounded great.
