Talk:Tubular bells

message: Ortolan88:
I agree that's an important sentence, but it was kind of confusing since a glockenspiel also produces a pure tone and wind chimes are often hollow.

replies: text: Uh... perhaps because it's a bunch of tube-shaped objects that happen to produce bell sounds? :P 4.235.9.185 (talk) 06:44, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

message: "Bar chime" redirects here, but "bar chimes" redirects to "mark tree".  That discrepancy makes no sense.  Both should point to the same page, preferably to "mark tree," as that is what people usually mean when they talk about "bar chimes".  I would do it myself but I don't know how to do redirects.  76.169.152.2 (talk) 03:27, 30 October 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree there was a problem. Fixed I think, bar chime now points to the DAB at chimes, which I think is the best we can do pending creation of an article on the sort of bell or chime you find on a bar counter, which may be the primary meaning of bar chime. But bar chimes is a common name for a mark tree, so it probably should remain a redirect there. Hatnote added. Andrewa (talk) 23:01, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

message: According to numerous sources, including Musser's product description of their Tubular Bells (or "Chimes", as they call them), the playing range of Tubular Bells is actually C5-G6. Basically, this article is right about the range, but not about the octave. I'll leave it as-is for now, but if I don't hear any objections any time soon, I'll go ahead and change it, and add a citation. Belac1 (talk) 16:31, 8 February 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, it should definitely be added. Good catch. Andrewa (talk) 19:15, 10 February 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Instrument Range 

message: The tubular bells are classified as keyboard percussion (see keyboard percussion instrument) so I added that as a category. Just like the xylophone, vibraphone, glockenspiel and marimba, the chimes use the same layout as the keyboard.--Kevjgav (talk) 18:50, 18 April 2014 (UTC)

message: "Chimes are often used in concert band pieces (e.g. "Eiger" by James Swearingen[citation needed])"  The request for a citation here is misplaced.  If any citation is required, it is for the statement about 'often used', not that the example composition includes tubular bells, that is, the citation should not be inside the ().  The cited composition is itself evidence of the truth that it uses tubular bells, but as a single example it does not verify the 'often used' statement.
The statement implies that other genres of music are less likely to use tubular bells.  Orchestral Chimes are used frequently in orchestral music, and a dozen or so examples are listed at the end of the article.  I wonder why no request has been made for a citation of each of these ?  Further examples are: Holst, The Planets, "Saturn"; Musorgsky-Ravel, Pictures at an exhibition, "The Great Gate at Kiev"; Puccini, Tosca, Acts I and II; Wagner, Parsifal, final scene.  Here is the 'citation' if one is required: The Study of Orchestration, 3rd, Edn., Samuel Adler, W.W. Norton & Co, Inc, (2002) 92.3.194.40 (talk) 18:51, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

message: This article says they were invented 1860-1870 and then goes on cite compositions that use them from the 1850s.  Are the compositions dates wrong? The first appearance of the instrument incorrect? The compositions scored for something else (church bells?) and then retroactively changed to chimes.  This section is nonsensical as-is.
