Pieter Hemony (born Pierre Hemony; 1619 – 20 February 1680) and his brother François Hemony (c. 1609 – 24 May 1667) were the greatest bellfounders in the history of the Low Countries. They developed the carillon, in collaboration with Jacob van Eyck, into a full-fledged musical instrument by casting the first tuned carillon in 1644. The brothers' skill was unequaled in their time; after their death, their guarded trade secrets were lost, and not until the 19th century were bells of comparable tuning quality cast. Even today, most Hemony bells sound pure and clear.

  • Les frères François et Pierre Hemony, les plus illustres des facteurs de carillons qu'aient connus les Pays-Bas, furent les premiers à produire un jeu de cloches au timbre pur, et surent par là convertir le carillon en un instrument de musique de plein droit. (fr)
  • De gebroeders François Hemony (Levécourt, 1609 – Amsterdam, 1667) en Pierre (Pieter) Hemony (Levécourt, 1619 – Amsterdam, 1 februari 1680) waren de belangrijkste klokkengieters uit de 17e eeuw in de Nederlanden. Zij waren de eersten ter wereld die een zuiver gestemd klokkenspel produceerden, en transformeerden daarbij het carillon, het klokkenspel of de beiaard tot een volwaardig muziekinstrument. In de periode 1642-1679 zouden zij eenenvijftig carillons maken. Zie ook onder bij Werkstukken. (nl)
