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.

The difference between tubular chimes and glockenspiel is one of tone quality, not purity. Tubular chimes have overtones more like those of much larger bells. I think the article is contrasting these two instruments against the group of instruments with less definite pitch, like the mark-tree. Wind chimes tend to have definite pitches and would come into the definite-pitch group.

[edit] Posted image, reomveing photo wanted tag

I posted a picture I took of a set of Tubular Bells. So, if there are no objections, I will remove the "photo wanted" tag at the top of the talk page. --Bjornredtail 06:44, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Dude! NPOV-city! Somebody called "Abide with me" "beautiful." Cut that out.

[edit] Article Name

Can someone tell me why this is called 'tubular bell'? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.31.80.94 (talk) 03:21, 5 October 2007 (UTC)

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)

[edit] Move proposal

• Move to Tubular bells -- always referred to in the plural as the instrument is most often a set of tubular bells. Badagnani (talk) 09:29, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

I agree, Tubular Bell sounds ridiculous, as if you were only going to play one note.
