Percussion

Percussion

Percussion instruments are used regularly in handbell and handchime arrangements -- and Handbell Services has taken the guessing game away for handbell musicians.

We have carefully selected non-pitched, hand-held percussion instruments to complement handbell/handchime choirs. 

These selections do not overwhelm any choir -- each has been carefully selected from a variety of brands and styles, and tested by several handbell ensembles.  We offer less choice -- but each perfectly fits with almost every piece written for bell and chimes.

Quality instruments for quality ensembles.  You'll notice the difference.
