GTS' tower chimes are made up of fifteen tubular bells developed in the mid 19th century by John Harrington of Coventry, England. Installed in the chapel tower in 1888, this set of tubular bells is one of the oldest in North America. They were installed by Walter H. Durfee who began importing the tubular bells from John Harrington in 1887. Originally, the tower chimes were played using a loose-rope chiming rack. In 1983 the present Eijsbouts baton clavier was installed. The GTS tower chimes are played by the Seminary's Guild of Chimers before Eucharist and Evensong as well as on special occasions throughout the year.
