Description
A bell is a simple sound-making device. The bell is a percussion instrument and an idiophone. Its form is usually a hollow, cup-shaped object, which resonates upon being struck. The striking implement can be a tongue suspended within the bell, known as a clapper, a small, free sphere enclosed within the body of the bell or a separate mallet or hammer.
Electric bells (such as often found in schools, some fire alarm systems, etc.) are electrically rung by an electromagnet that makes a metal hammer vibrate, striking the bell.
This tag includes the round "bells" often seen attached to collars and Christmas hats.
