carillon| Bell-ringing mechanism in which a manual keyboard, and often pedals, played like an organ, are connected by wires to the beaters of up to 70 static bells. The bells are usually hung in a tower, often in a church. Carillons are found throughout Europe and the USA; mechanized carillons were the forerunners of musical clocks and boxes. |
