Then, the entrance to Lowell would be blocked for at most a few days while the bells are removed from the tower and lowered to the street.
The University of Chicago’s senior project manager, Kenneth D. Park, said that Chicago’s is the largest set of bells built at any one time and that lowering 53 of the bells from the 10-story tower for repairs will take about two months
Louis Bakens, who manages Eijsbouts’s international business, said that the Lowell bells will not be so difficult, because they are in a shorter tower and consist of many fewer bells.
In line with Verdin’s estimate, Bakens said that removing the bells alone—excluding the cost of structural renovations to the tower—would cost about $40,000. He also estimated the cost of shipping the bells to Moscow at about $30,000.
Even with the added cost of replacing the bells with modern instruments, the total price would likely fall below the million-dollar mark, the experts said.
