The Dutch national anthem is my favorite of all countries. They play it
at the end of each Dutch language program transmission.

When did that happen, do you recall? The current bells sound (to my ears
anyway) the same as the ones used in 1998 and 1978. The 1978 recording at
http://www.asahi-net.or.jp/~RP4N-KWM...nd2/index.html seems to
suggest a slightly different key or pitch.

When did R. Netherlands abandon the short martial music intro that followed
the carillon? It's present in the 1978 recording and I remember it from the
mid-sixties but I can't recall when it disappeared.

I remember the pre-1978 recording, that was the one I was referring to.

If it ain't broke---don't fix it!!
