A Carillon of bells in the Port Elizabeth Campanile:
The Campanile originally had 23 bells with another two being added during renovations making it a carillion of 25 bells.
A carillon is a musical instrument that is typically housed in the bell tower of a church or municipal building. The instrument consists of at least 23 cast bronze, cup-shaped bells, which are played serially to produce a melody, or sounded together to play a chord. A carillon-like instrument with fewer than 23 bells is called a chime.
