Christoph Paccard Becomes Exclusive Rep for Paccard Bellfoundry
Christoph Paccard Bellfoundries is proud to announce that they have recently become the exclusive representative for the Paccard Fonderie des Cloches in the United States. Stan Christoph is President of Christoph Paccard and has 15 years of experience at all levels of bell and clock instrument design, manufacturing, installation and service. Philippe Paccard, Director of the Paccard Fonderie des Cloches, of Annecy, France supports Christoph Paccard with bronze bell and musical sculpture instrument design, engineering and sales. Mr. Philippe Paccard is the seventh generation to operate the Paccard Fonderie des Cloches.
Christoph Paccard is honored to represent the Paccard Fonderie des Cloches, makers of the world’s finest cast bronze bells since 1796. Known worldwide for their warmth and sweetness of tone, Paccard bells are the benchmark by which others are judged. In addition to making the world’s finest bells, Paccard is known for developing the acoustically balanced carillon.
Each Paccard Bell is meticulously crafted by hand, carefully cast using the lost wax process, and finely tuned to exacting musical standards. Cast only of bronze, Paccard bells are composed of pure red copper and block tin. Although the ratio of copper to tin is different depending on the size of the bell, most bells are approximately 78% copper and 22% tin.
Only new metal is used in the casting. When selecting a cast bronze bell, it is also critically important to choose a founder who understands how to properly tune a bell. Paccard is the best choice.
At Christoph Paccard, we take pride in our products and workmanship. Our business is built on integrity, high quality customer service, and customer satisfaction. Our ultimate goal is to deliver products that are built to the highest standards in the industry.
Regardless of the scope of your project, whether it requires a carillon, a peal, a chime, or just a single bell, our goal is to partner with you to design, plan and implement the right solution for your unique needs.
