Raspberry tinkle - soft timbre of bells, sometimes also bells, spurs. There are several versions of the origin of this term.
Basic: the phrase “raspberry ringing” has nothing to do with the corresponding berry and color. It comes from the name of the city of Mechelen , now located in the Flemish region of Belgium , which in French is called Malines , where in the Middle Ages a successful alloy for casting bells was developed. Since the appearance of such bells in Russia in the 18th century, they began to call “raspberry” a beautiful, melodically iridescent ringing (the combination “raspberry ringing” has the meaning: “very pleasant, soft ringing in timbre ”).
Other versions [1] feature linguistic (raspberry - red - beautiful, beautiful) origin (V. N. Sergeev), and " color hearing " - synesthesia .
A. S. Yareshko identifies the following genre-canonical typification of Orthodox bell rings: chimes; ringing; wire ringing and its typological options; everyday and holiday bells; red, oncoming, one-day, wedding and raspberry ringing [2] [3] . A special ringing sound is achieved by superimposing the acoustic components of different zones of the bell when the bell language is struck.

History
By the 17th century, Mechelen had become the European center for bell casting and bell music, which remains to this day. Now in this city is the Belgian Royal Carillon School, where musicians from Europe, Asia and America are studying. The first carillon of Russia , ordered in the South Netherlands by Peter I , met the Mechelen (raspberry) standard. In 2003, Russia and Belgium jointly issued two stamps (coupling) depicting St. Rumbold’s Cathedral in Mechelen and the Peter and Paul Cathedral in St. Petersburg (the first carillon of Russia was installed in it).
Cultural Influence
In 1987, the song "Raspberry Ringer" appeared, performed by Nikolai Gnatyuk (lyrics by A. Poperechny , music by A. Morozov ), which quickly became popular in the USSR (in the same year it was performed on the Song of the Year ). The song was also performed by Nikolai and Sergey Radchenko , Boris Shtokolov , Leonid Shumsky and others.
