Multiple-frame mobile carillons and chimes

These instruments are designed exclusively or primarily for indoors use, using multiple wheeled frames plus transport vehicles with ramps.  In some cases, those transport vehicles do permit outdoors use.  For those with traditional actions, the frames must be connected together for use; for those with hybrid actions, the frames need not be physically connected.
