تعریف و معنای "carillon"

What is a "carillon"?

A carillon is a large, musical instrument composed of a set of tuned bells arranged in a tower or frame. Each bell is struck by a system of hammers controlled by a keyboard or automated mechanism. The carillon produces a rich, resonant sound with a wide range of pitches, from low to high. It is often used in public spaces, such as churches or clock towers, to play melodic and harmonic music, including classical compositions and traditional tunes. The carillon's distinctive, bell-like tones can be heard over long distances, adding a grand and evocative quality to its musical performances.
