Question About My Galleries

[Angeló]

So most of you know i have a music gallery , however i'm having a small dilemma : BELLS.

 

Bells are musical items , right ? but TNT classifies some of them as instruments , others are toys , also there are wearables with bells on them , and food items shaped as bells, and then you have those little jingly bells ... like on hats & shoes.

 

Personally I have not included any item with a bell in it unless : 1. The item name or description had the word "bell" in it. 2. They said the word "rings" or "jingles" in the description. 3. The bell was too huge to miss - like on the Raindorf petpet.

 

However I'm thinking I SHOULD add more bells to my collection , like those Christmas petpets. Obviously they'll go into a different category than the musical petpets I have like the Leeble because the sound is coming from the bell, not the petpet itself.

 

What do you think? Should I add items with small jingly bells on them even though the item & description don't mention the bell or its sound ? And if I added them should I move ALL the bell items to that category or just the small jingly bells ?

 

Thanks for your input in advance.

I would not consider the petpets you posted in your post to be musical ... it just is wearing a bell ... If you feel the need to add them, then go ahead though :) That was just my opinion :)

in the petpet case , they move , thus the bell must make a sound , but what about items like this and this ?

[blueberrykiwi141]

well if the plushie is played with the bell will make a noise as well, if that is the way you are figuring to add them or not, the other two I would not consider the bells able to make the noise.

im still 50% undecided ... any other opinions are welcome

I personally would not add items that have such small bells. They are largely decorative, not musical.

However, that's just me, do whatever you like!

I would not, if it were me. Considering that it's "music" themed, and the bells on the petpets (and in the stamps and such) are merely decorations, not being used in a musical way. If your gallery was strictly bells, I'd say go for it, but since it is music in general, my thought is no.

My thought is also no, unless you want to consider movement as the qualifying factor like a person above mentioned since that would make sense to me. There's always room to expand the plan later if you feel you should add the other items after all!

I shall put a halt to this nagging idea for the time being then ...
