Musical instrument consisting of bells
- A carillon is a musical instrument consisting of bells. Carillons are usually in bell towers, and are made up of at least 23 bells. (If there are less than 23 bells, the instrument is called a chime.) A church in Michigan, called Kirk in the Hills, has 77 bells, the most of any carillon.

A carillon is a musical instrument of bells. Typically housed in a purpose-built bell tower or belfry, a carillon consists of at least 23 harmonically-tuned bells. The cup-shaped bells are hung fixed in a frame (what a campanologist would call “dead” rather than “swinging”).
The carillon is played via a keyboard and pedals, situated high in the Cathedral’s central tower (150 feet above the nave floor) and directly amid the bells. The keyboard controls a mechanical tracker system (similar to a tracker organ) that uses transmission wires to move the clappers.
A carillon is a musical instrument, the tones of which are produced by bells in response to the hands and feet of a trained carillonneur on the clavier (or keyboard). The bells are fixed in a frame and do not swing; only the clappers, or tongues, of the bells move.
