Chime

a set of bells, usually five to twelve, tuned in a musical scale. They may be stationary and be struck by hammers played by a performer, or, as is, strictly speaking, the proper way for a chime, they may swing and be struck by a tongue. A bell tower and a chime of bells is a regular feature of the commercial towns and cities of the Netherlands. There are many fine chimes in France and in England. There is no sweeter sound than the music of a chime of bells floating across the country side. See Bells
