Missing information on the carillon
Hi I notice that this article is completely missing information on the 25-bell carillon built by Bergholtz Bellfoundry in 1962 that is located within the building. Since you worked to get the article to GA, I thought I'd let you know. I only have one source that confirms this, which is from the Nordic Society for Campanology and Carillons:

Would be great to see this important architectural fact be included in the article. Thrakkx (talk) 16:35, 5 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Hi Thrakkx, thanks for the suggestions. I haven't found more info about this, and now I'm away from my books. If I found more sources, I will add something. Yakikaki (talk) 18:06, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * You may have a hard time looking. Often times information about carillons is scant; carillon owners rarely feel it necessary to include info on their website (and this cathedral is no exception). Your best bet is the Nordic Society and maybe newspapers discussing this particular instrument's installation. However difficult, I feel this article is incomplete without even just a one-sentence mention about the carillon. Thrakkx (talk) 18:13, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * All right, you seem to know a lot about the subject so I'll take your word for it; I'll add a sentence here and in the article about Visby Cathedral as well. Thanks for pointing it out, very appreciated! Kind regards, Yakikaki (talk) 18:23, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * By the way Thrakkx, did you know that the Swedish Nobel Laureate and poet Tomas Tranströmer wrote a very beautiful and complex poem about the ringing of a carillon? One of my favourite poems! Yakikaki (talk) 18:41, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * No way; do share which poem! I don't know any Swedish so I am struggling to find the name of the poem. Counting on Google translate to actually read its contents. Thrakkx (talk) 18:56, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm more than happy to! Actually, there's an English translation here. Hope you like it. It's one of his more complex poems, but at the end (when the carillon appears) it all comes together in a nice way. Enjoy! Yakikaki (talk) 19:01, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
