AI overview

A bell is a percussion instrument made from a hollow cup-shaped object that produces sound when struck, either by an internal clapper, an external hammer, or a loose sphere inside it. Bells matter because their curved design creates an efficient resonator that vibrates to produce a strong, clear tone when struck.

... Idiophones Struck idiophones Idiophones struck directly Percussion idiophones Percussion vessels Bells Percussion vessels, owing to the solidity and elasticity of their substance, vibrate and radiate sound when struck either with non-sonorous objects (hand, stick, striker) or against non-sonorous objects. The vibration is weakest near the vertex of the struck surface. The player creates clearly defined individual strokes. (en)
