Is there any instrument named seventh bells? If yes, from where I will get information about this instrument. I saw in a moovie that it is a piano like instrument with 7 bells attached to it and when play the piano, the bells also will ring.

If anybody know such instrument, please reply

I haven't heard of that particular instrument, but there is a guy who comes to musicfest in Bethlehem every year who has a keyboard attached to many bells, which he invented, and built. It sounds awsome. My son calls him the bell dude.

I found some information on an instrument called a "Konyrau". It consists of seven bells on a stick hit with a small hammer to make melodies. It comes from Kazakhstan. You can find more info by typing Konyrau on google.com. I hope this is what you were looking for.
