Cast in Bronze - Performs Reflection at Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival 

He's excellent I'm so glad I got his CDs and autograph in colorado

The reason for the mask is carillons are usually heard from bell towers and no one ever sees the performer.

This guy should have his own show in Las Vegas.

I am sure his performances are different, but the song I really enjoyed was the one right after this [would you happen to know which one I am talking about]. Like I said in an earlier post, the background music, the mask and his movements, really made the song I am talking about eerie and awesome.

maybe they gave him an X because the instrument has so high voice coming from it when its performed loud, so ppl couldnt hear it well rather than getting annoyed by it. But this is really a so great instrument to hear to and this guy knows how to play ! keep rocking Frank

I agree and we all need to vote him into the finals.

ABSOLUTELY MY FAVORITE.We have even heard him play at Disney World in Orlando Florida back in the 1980's! We just love Mr. Della Penna. We see him and his other partner at Scarborough Faire in Waxahachie, TX EVERY APRIL TO MEMORIAL DAY!

I just saw Him today at the Erie County Fair, Hamburg, NY for the second time...! A TRUE Maestro of the Carrilon!!

This guy is a real beast. What a true master!

He is amazing! We've been watching him perform for many years. First discovered him at the Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival over 10 years ago. A brilliant person!

That is incredible, and his talent has no equal! I would dearly love to play with him! I am a Native American flute artist and I think the wood flutes playing with him and his incredible instrument would be absolutely incredible. I think it would sound like heaven! I think I will get a hold of a CD of his and see if I could play along.

I saw his show at a Renaissance Faire and found him and this instrument to be mesmerizing. When he plays The Carol of the Bells it is nothing short of amazing. His show is worth seeing again and again.

I listened to him at the Renaissance festival and am truly obsessed he is amazing and people only hate because they can't make something sound so beautiful👌 the first time I heard him play I cried it was amazing ❤

I saw this at the Pittsburgh Ren Faire in 2005. Brilliant.

Bonjour. Cher Défékator, je ne vous savais pas ce talent ! Bravos !

this is why i love going to the festival this man right here

2019 I m glad I just went to the Renaissance festival today :) He was playing an awesome skills wow .I m a fan :)

I just saw him perform this evening in Pa, and he was Awesome. I disagree, the background music, the mask and movements create an even more eerie effect

my son and nephew got a pic with him at a fair cast in bronze is great I hope to see it again

I am a big fan of yours, and of the Carillon instrument. You are creative, and amazing!

I like the mystery of the mask that goes along with the performances! I've not heard this piece before. It's wonderful!

This guy is amazing. What a talent and life to have, and play that instrument

Yes I know it is Frank and have been friends for years. I go ever weekend to listen to Frank play the bells.

Saw him at Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival in West Newton, PA. for the first time in 2009! And seen him every year after that until he retired. I have all his cd's & dvd's with autographs. Now Charlie is doing the Carillon. Bells 2 Go, can be found here & Facebook!! 😊

Back ground music to loud

"An instrument so rare, no one knows it exists." My God, really? Sheesh.

I've had the most amazing experience in listening to Cast in Bronze at Scarborough Renaissance Festival in Waxahachie, Texas a number of years ago. He is a true talent and very expressive preformer. Thank you for sharing your friend's wonderous gift, Gman611.

Thanks for everything! Here’s a little something for you: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qDeVxNat4Hs.html

Was there today! Was always my fave! From Pittsburgh- Jen

So talented! What an awesome show!

Saw him at the NC state fair ,Amazing

This is my favorite tune of his... Maybe one of my favorite tunes of all time!!!! I would like some more music of his along the lines of this particular song - any recommendations???? I have Bells From Hell and Spirit Of The Bells already.

Met him Pittsburgh Ren Fest..he's amazing

I agree! Back in 15th Europe, these Carillon players were usually unable to be seen as they played them while hiding themselves. His suit is a symbol and homage to that. I'm not a fan of the mainstream stuff that they praise on that show. I mean, how many singers who play instruments have we seen? They praise them, then comes along a master of an instrument that almost no one has heard of, and they all give him the red x. If people want unique and different, I say give him a chance!

k thx man

2021..I still love you 😍 n sharing

Explain to me just how they could all give him the red x on AGT today. >:( It's clear he's got great potential.

Unbelievable beautiful , but a litle bit .. scary

How much does that rig cost?

Does he talk to folks after the show and do autographs?

I saw him ..he's incredible

Ur absolutely amazing i wish i could listen to u all day

VOTE FOR HIM HE'S AWESOME DON'T JUST SAY HE IS HE IS GREAT

This song is Reflection from Spirit of the Bells CD.

I saw this in a movie

Eh, its ok. The synths get kinda lame like having a stratovarious jam out with a cheap pawn store bass. Get some pipe organs up in there and some timpanis and that would be a real jam session.

STELLAR!!!

I think this has great potential, but I think it should be played alone perhaps without a backing track track. Either it's the over tones of some of the bells making them sound out of tune against the track or they just are out of tune because not all the bells sound this way. Just some of them. It would be less noticeable without the track...or just need a retune.

The judges didn't have the intellect to see that this is an outstanding, trained musician. What he does is amazing, beautiful, and the mask keeps with the theme of the unknown musician playing the carrillion. The judges showed themselves to be a bunch of uneducated jerks. The comments really didn't need to be so cruel if this talent was beyond their comprehension!!

I thought it was a great talent & all the X's on AGT were in appropriate. Maybe 'Carol of the Bells' was a poor song choice, since it is a Christmas song.

The judges on AMT sucked all the intelligence out of the room Tues. night. Bronze bells are the essence of tonality. Bronze is used in the bells and piano strings and guitar strings and other musical instruments. The fact that he could play this Carillon was amazing.

Yep they were only focusing on his mask and what he was wearing. Close the eyes feel the music see the music.

AGT viewers gave this "masked man" the heave ho, NOT the judges.

F A N T A S T I C...

Did they say no photographic or filming

Who cares what he looks like close your eyes and feel and see the music.

yes Frank does and search for CarillonBellsMan.

I'd like to make a request. Anita's Ward's "Ring My Bell."

im there every year i love this guy...his name is Frank :D

He always scared me when I was a kid

I lave his work and can't wait for 2010 to come.

Does this guy have his own youtube channel?

We'll have to take your word for it.

That is really creppy

he got lots of talent i would love to see this in person

They got ride of his amazing talent AGT

Truly remarkable to see in person!

I love everythhing about it.

LOVE this!!

This was the best talent in AGT

😥

Gwb

I can play the piano with my fists too, just never tried to make a career out of it.

Watched this guy once when I was maybe 12. Always loves bells, chimes, and music boxes ever since. Most influential musician I've ever witnessed.

What a ding-a-ling.

does anyone know wat song this is?

Thanks for the info :)

The music is great but loose the mask as the "Kiss" look takes away from the instrument, making the performance comical! The bells deserve better than a "side show Bob" look.
