WESTMINSTER CARILLON

Westminster carillon has the particularity to play a melody for the full hour and then three different melodies for each quarter hour which are proportionally longer.

The melody of the Westminster carillon reproduces that of the clock tower of the Westminster Parliament in London commonly known as Big Ben.

To sound the melodies you need 4 stamps and an additional one for the hours, so a total of 5 stamps.
