hand bells
Held percussion ringers
Hand bells are small bells with handles, designed to be rung by hand rather than mounted in a tower or worn.
A set of tuned hand bells allows a group of ringers to play melodies, each person responsible for one or two notes: The church hand bell choir performed at the Christmas service.
Hand bell ringing is both a musical tradition and a form of ensemble coordination.
