Percussion instruments, but trumpets, etc., have them (5)
I believe the answer is:
bells
'percussion instruments' is the definition.
(bell is a kind of percussion instrument)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bells that I've seen before include "Chimes" , "Scotch?" , "Ringing objects" , "Summoned by -- (Betjeman)" , "Those ringing in the New Year" .)
