Tuned sets of cencerros or cowbells have been in use in orchestral music since the 20th century, e.g., in Richard Strauss’ Alpine Symphony. Hand bells were originally intended and are still used today for signalling sounds. Rin bells are sound bowls, and have only been in use as tuned sets since the 20th century. A bell tree consists of vertically nested, bright bells especially suited for creating bell-like glissando sounds. Due to their history and their unique timbre, jingle bells are often associated with sleigh rides and Christmastime.
