brass bell
Bronze-alloy signal instrument
A brass bell is a bell made from brass, the copper-zinc alloy prized for its resonant acoustic properties.
Church bells, ship's bells, and hand bells are commonly brass.
The term sometimes appears in musical contexts: The brass bell of the trumpet flared outward.
Brass bells produce a warm, clear tone that carries well.
