Musical Hand Bells by Schylling

Because of their religious and ceremonial uses, many famous bells have really fascinating stories. You’ve heard of the Liberty Bell, of course, but how about the haunted Great Bell of Dhammazedi, which sunk to the bottom of a river in Burma in 1608, and is rumored to surface by the light of the full moon? Or the Czar Kolokol bell of Russia, which weighs as much as 50 elephants?

The Schylling Musical Hand Bells have no storied history, but like any bells, they bring the joy of music to all listeners, and anyone can play them! Each of the 8 beautifully colored bells plays a different note, comprising a full octave, so you can use them to play tunes. But the Schylling Hand Bells sound good no matter what you do, and small children will delight in using them to make all kinds of joyous noise. The plastic bell handles are designed to be easy for small hands to grasp, and you can use these hand bells to teach your child about colors and numbers.

And of course, when it comes time to play real tunes on the Schylling Musical Hand Bells, lots of skills come into play: children learn to listen, solve problems, and work as a team when they play songs together. Playing songs is an activity that the entire family can enjoy – watch kids of different ages have a ball figuring out songs together! Each bell is color-coded and letter-coded, and a guide is included with a few songs to try.

Ultimately, what makes a bell more than just a percussion instrument is the memories attached, and many families tell us that they have made bell performances part of their holiday gatherings every year after getting this set.
