A carillon-like instrument with fewer than 23 bells is called a chime. American chimes usually have one to one and a half diatonic octaves. Many chimes are automated. The first bell chime was created in 1487. Before 1900, chime bells typically lacked dynamic variation and the inner tuning (the mathematical balance of a bell's complex sound) required to permit the use of harmony. Since then, chime bells produced in Belgium, the Netherlands, England, and America have inner tuning and can produce fully harmonized music.〔(Bell Facts – Bell Chimes )〕 Some towers in England hung for full circle change ringing chime by an Ellacombe apparatus.〔(bell ringing glossary )〕 ==Notable chimes== *The Arma Sifton bells at the International Peace Garden, North Dakota, United States. The 14 bells by Gillett & Johnston were a gift from Central United Church of Brandon, Manitoba, in 1972. The tower was supplied by North Dakota Veterans and dedicated in 1976.〔()〕 *The chimes of St. Peter the Apostle Parish in New Brunswick, New Jersey, United States.
