The Baird Carillon in Burton Tower is a musical instrument that doubles as a time-telling device. Every fifteen minutes from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. it plays portions of the “Westminster Quarters,” adding one bar at a time until the full sixteen-note tune plays on the hour—followed by the carillon’s biggest bell, “Big Baird,” counting off the time.
