Estimating the term…
A bell resonator, a bell resonator system, and method of producing sound from a bell are provided. The bell resonator system includes the bell resonator, and the bell resonator includes a piezoelectric transducer and a mounting device. The mounting device supports the piezoelectric transducer and is configured to attach to a bell such that the piezoelectric transducer engages a surface of the bell so as to vibrate the bell when the piezoelectric transducer is electrically activated. The method includes attaching a bell resonator to a bowl of the bell; and causing the bell resonator to vibrate the bell by electrical excitation of a transducer of the bell resonator that is in contact with a surface of the bell.
