Chime in No. 2

Jeffers Handbell Supply, Inc

The use of handchimes is widespread, both as a regular choir and as an interesting addition to the handbell sound. Composers, arrangers, and directors are finding ways to include the "heavenly sounds" of the modern handchime within handbell compositions. While the standard technique required to play them is understood, many directors are unsure how to achieve some of the special effects available with handchimes. This resource book explains how handchimes can perform the special effects often used with handbells.
