FM bells?

Trying to make some eerie synth bells for my current track.

How do I do them? There aren't many tuts out there and it seems to be quite a different approach to most other synth sounds.

Currently my best attempt is sine at very low octave being frequency modulated by another sine 5 octaves up, which is phase modulated by a triangle 3 octaves up, then some very wet reverb. It's not great. All help appreciated.

Something I've done (this is without the preset in front of me, so it'll probably have a few errors) is to put two oscillators on sine and pitch them up 12. After that run one through ring mod and the other through phase mod. Since I did this in Massive, I also ran it through a daft filter and put a plucky envelope on it so I could use the sound as a normal bell if I took off the modulation.
