Chime (bell instrument) A carillon-like instrument with fewer than 23 bells is called a chime . The first bell chime was created in 1487. Before 1900, chime bells typically lacked dynamic variation and were not harmonically tuned . Since then chime bells produced in Belgium , the Netherlands , England , and America have tuning to produce fully harmonized music. Some towers in England normally hung for full circle change ringing can be chimed when mouth downwards by an Ellacombe apparatus . American chimes usually have one to one and a half diatonic octaves. Some chimes are automated.Notable chimes The Altgeld Chimes at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign . The fifteen bells were cast and installed by the McShane Bell Foundry in 1920.
