This is the sentence I was unravelling. Your edit says the opposite of this; which is correct?[[Special:Contributions/192.249.47.196|192.249.47.196]] 18:12, 18 November 2011 (UTC) | This is the sentence I was unravelling.

:There are essentially three types of musical bells: | |||
::"Bells" or a "bell kit", what is known commonly as a glockenspiel, and are most often referred to as "bells" (because of this, in fact, most other keyboard percussion instruments [marimba, xylophone, vibraphone] are referred to as "bells" [although mallets is another, often colloquial term]). | |||
::"Chimes" or "tubular bells" are the second most common form. They are long and tall, most often have a damper pedal, and give the iconic "chime" sound (not to be confused with wind chimes or a bell tree, however). | |||
::"A bell(s)", or as I refer to them "tenor bells". This are most similar to hand bells or church bells, which are actual "bells". | |||
:In the original Gameboy version, I reviewed the song. The sound was closest to a poorly synthesized hand bell. However, the sound was about an octave and a half too low, and too resonate to be a hand bell, so I would categorize that as a "tenor bell". In the rerelease of the game, the song was modified to use true chimes, a far more prominent and appropriate sound. | |||
:Also, I apologize for assuming that you had switched the terms. I was looking at only one diff, when I should have been looking at the previous one as well. The current version, '''''The piece "The 13th Floor", played outside of Worlds, is melodically different. Instead of tenor bells playing an ascending interval, chimes now play a descending interval.''''', is correct. {{The Inexistentsig}} 18:52, 18 November 2011 (UTC) | |||
