Sets of bells
Sets of percussion vessels, owing to the solidity and elasticity of their substance, vibrate and radiate sound when struck with non-sonorous objects (hand, stick, striker). The cup of each bell is placed on the palm of the hand or on a cushion; its mouth faces upwards. The vibration is weakest near the crown. The player creates clearly defined individual strokes. China, Japan.
