Tubular bells (also known as chimes) are musical instruments in the percussion family. [1] Their sound resembles that of church bells, carillons, or a bell tower; the original tubular bells were made to duplicate the sound of church bells within an ensemble. [2]
There are a few that imitates the sound of the church bells quite closely, including: Suite No. 1, opus 5 (Rachmaninoff) - 4th movement (Easter - Pâques*)*. Great Russian Easter Overture, opus 36 (Rimsky-Korsakov). Both works depict and contain the sound of the Russian Orthodox church's bell ringing and thundering.
The tubular bells "Concert" have a worldwide unique tube diameter of 42 mm (1.65")", which gives them an exceptionally full sound, a very pure tone quality and a rich resonance. Optimal for imitating the sound character of a cast church bell.
Tubular bells share only some of the sound characteristics of bells and the structure of their sound differs from that of church bells on which they were modeled. These differences are due to the fact that tubular bells have always been made to meet musical requirements as well.
Mallet percussion — clockwise from top left, xylophone, marimba, vibraphone (not to scale). The big brother of the xylophone is the marimba, a wonderfully rich-sounding, sonorous instrument blessed with a surprisingly long sustain in its low register.
In this section we will look at a kind of “percussion instrument” which develops the theme of vibration engineering to align overtones into near-harmonic patterns: church bells. Bells must be among the oldest tuned percussion instruments, both in Europe and (with an entirely different tradition) in China.

Orchestral Chimes, also known as tubular bells, are a series of metal tubes of equal width but varying length. Striking the tube produces a note similar to that of a church bell. Orchestral chimes are used in orchestras instead of church bells (which may weigh several tons).
