carillons
Tuned bell sets
Carillons are sets of tuned bells, typically housed in a church tower or civic building, played from a keyboard to produce melodies.
The word can also mean the music played on such bells, or any tune suggesting their sound.
A carillon requires at least 23 bells; smaller sets are called chimes.
The carillons rang out across the town square.
