A chime (/ˈtʃaɪm/) or set of chimes is a carillon-like instrument, i.e. a pitched percussion idiophone consisting of 22 or fewer cast bronze bells. Chimes are primarily played with a keyboard, but can also be played with an Ellacombe apparatus. Chimes are often automated, in the past with mechanical drums connected to clocks and in the present with electronic action. Bellfounders often did not attempt to tune chime bells to the same precision as carillon bells. Chimes are defined as specifically having fewer than 23 bells to distinguish them from the carillon. American chimes usually have one to one and a half diatonic octaves. According to a recent count, there are over 1,300 existing chimes throughout the world. Almost all are in the Netherlands and the United States, with most of the re

  • 차임(영어: Chime) 또는 차임벨(영어: Chime bell 혹은 Bell chime)은 카리용과 비슷하게 생긴 악기이다. 종이 23개 미만으로 달려있는 것이 특징이며, 종이 23개 이상 있으면 카리용으로 분류 된다. 첫 차임은 1487년에 만들어졌다. 1900년 이전에 만들어지던 차임은 보통 강약의 조절이 부족했고, 이후에 벨기에, 네덜란드, 잉글랜드, 미국에서 만들어지는 차임벨부터 정확한 화성음 연주가 가능해졌다. 잉글랜드에 있는 몇몇 탑에는 엘라콤 기계(차임을 울리게 하는 기계)를 사용해 차임을 울리기도 한다.
