Is it difficult to play?
The hand bell is an amazing instrument. It is easy to learn how to ring and tunes can be rung successfully by novice teams very quickly. Teams can be formed using as few as eight bells, or up to seven octaves eighty-five bells! Membership can range from small family groups to the biggest teams with sixteen or more ringers, spanning the whole age range - you are never too young or old to join in! A wide repertoire of music is available including both classical and popular pieces, themes from musicals, films and shows, as well as original pieces written especially for handbells.
