This is a recording of chime wheel ("roue à carillons" in french), also named "fortune wheel" or "glory wheel", which used to be a very common percussion instrument in the Middle Ages in Brittany. It is comprised of twelve small bells covering the twelve notes composing an octave.
Those wheels were primarily used for celebrating baptisms and weddings. This specific wheel can be found in the Notre-Dame-de-Confort church, and is the only known remaining in the Finistère, at the extreme west part of Brittany.
