A set of bronze bells, played melodically. China is the earliest country to manufacture and use musical chimes. They are also called Chime Bells. The outside appearances of the 16 bells are alike, but the inside dimensions are different. The upper right bell, the thickest, produces high tone, and the lower right bell, the thinnest, low tone notes.
