These bright-colored bells are right in tune, and the little tune book has easy to play music for beginners. They are color-coded, and have both numbers and keys on the tops to guide you in your playing.

The bells are 3″ wide, 5 1/2″ tall. I initially posted this review in 2007. It’s now January 2011, and the bells are still in excellent shape, ring true, and have held up incredibly well!

Great item!

I bought this set of bells to use in my music therapy sessions several years ago, and continue to use them with almost every group that I work with–from small children to adults.

The set comes with a small booklet to start you off on some songs, and I found them to be tuned well.

They’re durable too! Many a client has banged, thrown, or done worse to the bells, and I have not had to replace any. They’re easy to clean, since it is all plastic/metal (no paper or delicate material).

Great product, I recommend others to use this as well!

I’ve had the desk bells for years. Kids love using them. I have wanted the hand bells and finally purchased them. The bells allow you to use them by #’s, letters of the notes, or by color. I will take a poster board and put the words of the song with the color of the bell above the word that the note cooresponds too. I have used them with children ages 3 to 11. They catch on almost immediately. The colors are fun and billiant. It is great for teaching harmony, too.
