[Bell Historians] Use of bells in musical performances

[Michael Childs]

I did not read George's email before sending mine, I
am sure he is right that the bell sill exists. 

On a further note I recently attended a preformance of
Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique, where two chiming
bells were used in the final movement. Unfortunately I
did not get to see the bells close up, but it was good
to see an orchestra using real bells instead of tubes.
