Bells aren't as small as whistles.

Though a few mixed in would be worth trying.

Add an ominous note?

Just rattled off another quarter peal of Plain Bob Minor on handbells. Slight change in pairs, Naomi on 3/4 and me on 5/6.

And, for what it's worth, I arranged the theme song from Cheers (Where Everybody Knows Your Name) for handbell ensemble! 😃

We finally rang another quarter peal of Double Oxford Bob Minor on handbells. It has eluded us recently and we even failed before tea and biscuits this afternoon. Once the caffeine kicked in we set off again with some spirited ringing and achieved our objective.

The Raleigh Ringers are one of the premier handbell ensembles in the world! Here they perform Freebird, by Lynyrd Skynyrd, arranged by Andrew G. Metz.

This is one of the most amazing performances you'll ever hear on handbells. Sorry I couldn't find a live video of the performance.

@silveraura7 I saw you posted this about a year ago, but as far as #HandChimes, I might be able to give some pointers to other #Blind #BellRingers out there who could use thek. I don't have experience with standard #HandBells though.
