Answers.Body: <p>Wanted to chime in here on this (pun intended): if you want to actually have a bell sound with this, there is an option that most people may not have thought of.

Body: <p>I'm planning a scene that includes a church bell. It's will need to fit into roughly 10X10X6 space.  It doesn't need to actually make any sound but the ability to swing a bit would be nice.<br>
  Here's the <a href="https://pm1.narvii.com/6627/5c120e60b762d99980836fbb809dbca655406a7b_hq.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer">image from the scene</a></p>
  
  <p>I figure I can use a bar, some clips and some stoplights to make the swinging part. Can anyone recomend some parts for the bell itself?</p>
