		Some bells are also decorative as well as percussive, such as the small brass "tiger bells" from the Philippines (see image right) often strung on dance girdles and belts.

		Each bell, whether used as a single church bell, a bell in a peal, a chime or a carillon, is in itself a finely-crafted musical instrument.
		Bells for chimes or carillons are mounted in a stationary manner from steel framing, and struck by means of internal clappers operated through a simple action consisting of levers and stainless steel rod connections from a manual keyboard or chime stand.
		In this case, the bell is mounted on a yoke which is fitted with sealed ball bearing; a wheel allows swinging the bell by means of a rope, or the chain of an electric swinging ringer.

	Carillon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A carillon is a musical instrument composed of at least 23 cup-shaped bells played from a keyboard using fists and feet (such an instrument with fewer than this number of bells is known as a chime).
		Carillons originated in the 15th century in the Low Countries of Europe: Belgium, the Netherlands and Northern France, when bell-makers perfected their art by tuning bells at several points so that they could be sounded together to produce concordant harmonies.
		They were usually housed in church towers, belfries, or in municipal buildings, and the same holds true for those carillons that have been installed in other parts of the world since the art of casting precisely tuned bells was rediscovered in the late 19th century.
