The politically astute decision to accept and install the Sultan's gift lead to modifications of the tower, to make it thinner and taller. That in turn affected another gift, a fine set of 25 bells, carillon chimes which together could play lengthy tunes.
Kwa bahati mbaya haikuwepo saa katika ramani ya mwanzo. Uamuzi wa busara wa kisiasa kupokea na kuiweka zawadi ya Sultani ulipelekea marekebisho kufanywa juu ya mnara na kuufanya mwembamba na mrefu zaidi. Uamuzi huo kwa upande mwengine uliathiri pia zawadi zawadi nyengine ya seti nzuri ya kengele 25, seti za mlio wa saa ambazo ziliweza kupiga milio mirefu.
