brass bells
Bronze-toned ring makers
Brass bells are bells made from brass, a copper-zinc alloy valued for its resonant tone and durability.
They range from small handbells to large church bells: The brass bells rang out across the valley.
In slang, brass bells can refer to testicles, playing on the shape and the phrase "balls of brass" meaning boldness or audacity.
