Bells, a percussion instrument shaped like a hollow cup, produce a single strong strike tone upon striking. Their resonance is facilitated by the cup's sides and can be caused by an internal clapper, external hammer, or small loose sphere within the bell (jingle bell). Bell metal, a bronze type, is commonly used for its resonant properties, although other materials may be employed based on function. Bells made for wide-area audibility range from single turret/bell-gable bells to ensembles like English rings, carillons, or Russian zvons, which are tuned and installed in bell towers. Public buildings often house bells, particularly clock bells for hour and quarter chimes. Historically, religious rituals employed bells, while later ones commemorated events or people, symbolizing peace and freedom. Campanology is the study of these fascinating instruments.
