Additional Information

Width

Measure your tables! Most handbell tables are 30 inches in width, but 24 inch tables are common as well, especially in tight performance spaces like church pews.

• 24 inch
• 30 inch (standard handbell table width) Height

Handbells are heavy, delicate instruments. To ensure their safety, use at least 3 inches of foam with handbells. 4 inches provides maximum protection, and most effectively dampens the largest handbells.

Handchimes can be used with any foam height.

• 1 inch (for handchimes only)
• 2 inch (for handchimes only)
• 3 inch (recommended for 2-3 octaves of handbells)
• 4 inch (recommended for 4-6 octaves of handbells)

Length

Measure your tables! Handbell tables are usually 6 or 8 feet long, and would each require a pair of 36 or 48 inch foam pieces.

• 24 inch
• 36 inch (1/2 standard 6' table length)
• 48 inch (1/2 standard 8' table length)

ILD  (Indentation Load Deflection)

• determines how much weight the foam can hold per cubic foot
• will support the weight of handbells with little compression
• 33-39 ILD = standard density for handbells
• 67-70 ILD = density for colored foam for handchimes
