    I enjoyed playing them they sound so nice

    I know the proper way to ring and hold a note for handbells. I have very good rhythm and I can keep time without a metronome perfectly. But none of it is really knowledge on why I am playing a F#.

    Like can I play handbells, yes. But do I really know how to play them. Not really.

    Nope just random photo on internet I could find with my sized bells ha

      i mean if you’re in the bay area the guy who taught me to ring is putting together a 5-octave group to start ringing in january and potentially gigging starting june or september

        Very far from it or I’d definitely check it out

        Handbells are definitely underrated as an instrument

          yeah i wish i still had the time to do it. one of my friends (funny enough, i taught this one how to ring) now has a 7-octave set and every once in a while i think about stealing his identity and then running off with his bells.
