Practicing can make you better at anything,
even Ringing Handbells
FREE SHIPPING to DOMESTIC U.S.
Practicing away from formal practice helps increase your muscle memory, especially if you have a weaker non-dominant hand & arm
Special Ringing Techniques like Weaving 3 or more Bells, 4-in-Hand, Shelley Ringing, as well as Shaking, Swinging, Malleting, Thumb Damping all require more practice than you can get formal rehearsals.
Practice Handbells are 3D Printed, thus they do not have the weight or the Sound of regular Bronze Handbells. They are designed as a Practicing Tool for the Handbell Ringer who wants to improve their ringing skills.
PLEASE NOTE: Practice Handbells and Practice Handchimes Do NOT make the sound of a Bronze Handbell. They create a CLICKING sound.
Note Labels on the Practice Handbells and Practice Handchimes indicate the Size of the Practice Handbell and not the Pitch.
INTRODUCING
PRACTICE HANDCHIMES
PRACTICE HANDCHIMES, are 3D Printed from Plastic Resin and make a CLICKING sound, not the Pitch indicated on the Chime.

Ed,
I just wanted to thank you for my set of practice bells. So beautiful! They are a wonderful invention and I get so much joy from practicing with them. And they work well, as I’ve quite improved! A few weeks ago I performed my very first solo in church. I am ringing again on August 31 with the piano and flute accompanying me. We will perform a beautiful arrangement of As I Survey the Wondrous Cross. I’m excited…and nervous!
I did not have the opportunity to learn music as a child so here I am 70 years old, learning everything for the first time. My church family is so supportive and encourage me to keep going! Thank you for your wonderful invention and for sharing it at such an affordable price.
I thought you might appreciate my storage/display solution!
Be well and I wish you many blessings!
Regards,
June G.

What I really love about the practice bells is the ability to practice switching bells from the table as the handle is the right shape and size. The larger practice bells are lighter than actual brass bells but are pretty close so that I can get a good feel of ringing a bell that size.

Dear Ed, Just so you know I received my practice handbells and have used them! They are so much better than forks and spoons. Ha, ha! Thank you for making them available to the public. Pam
When you join your Junior High School band the first thing the happens is they either lend you and instrument or you rent one. Thus, you are able to practice at home away from rehearsals. Why don’t Handbell ringers have the same opportunity?
Plastic Practice Handbells can be used for developing all the Handbell Techniques: including: Weaving, Shake, Mallet, Martellato, etc. Great for 4-In-Hand and Shelley Practicing.
Practice Handbells are 3D Printed to the approximate Rim Diameter of the corresponding Bronze Handbell. Fitted with Clappers and one-way ringing spring. Available with Black or White Handles & Finger Guards
