Handbells National Bell Festival

A handbell choir, ensemble, or team performs music on a set of handheld bells tuned to the chromatic scale. An entire handbell choir is itself a single instrument, with a musician responsible for only one or a very few select notes that, when played together with other musicians, becomes rich melodies and harmonies. This is unique from other orchestras or bands, where an individual musician is responsible for a continuous line of music. Handbell choirs may be composed of a dozen or more musicians, playing any number of bells to scale two octaves (25 bells) and up to eight octaves (97 bells).
