Bell (instrument)
From Memory Alpha, the free Star Trek reference.
The bell is a music instrument that comes in various sizes and shapes.
Bells have been used in courtrooms for centuries. (TOS: "Court Martial"; TNG: "Encounter at Farpoint"; DS9: "Rules of Engagement")
In the past, teachers used small handheld bells to signal their students that the lesson would begin. Molly and Miles O'Brien gave Keiko a bell as a present for her first day as a teacher on Deep Space 9. (DS9: "A Man Alone")
