(French: kareyoli, chime, peal)
A series of bells, sometimes numbering as high as 60 and producing a complete chromatic scale, so hung that they may be played upon either by hand or machinery. Among the best-known in Europe are those in the cathedrals of Antwerp, Ghent, Mechlin, Bruges, Worcester, and Dublin. The Riverside Baptist Church of New York, when completed, will have the heaviest carillon in the world, weighing 226,000 lbs. The term is also applied to a small instrument, composed of bells and a pianoforte keyboard by which they are played, and to a tune chimed upon bells. See also chime.
