Handbell Toolbox

2. Strong foundation skills

In this chapter we cover the fundamentals of handbell ringing. Whilst some of this might seem a bit detailed it is essential, just as with tower bell ringing, that a newcomer to change ringing on handbells adopts a style that will enable them to develop their skills. The correct ringing position is essential so that the ringer can remain comfortable and relaxed during ringing sessions.

The three positions of Plain Hunt Minor form the basis of handbell ringing for so many methods that it has a number of sub-chapters all to itself.
