| NEW HANDBELL PRODUCTS |
| The distinguished artisans in the workshops of the English Guild of American Handbell Ringers are currently researching and developing the following accessories that no redblooded, American handbell choir will soon want to be without: |
| Mallet Handle Covers. Why hasn't someone thought of these before? Never again will a ringer suffer the embarassment of clanking the shaft of his mallet against a bell when he drops his mallet. This simple device consists of a yarn or foam sheath that covers the full length of the mallet body. The color of the sheath can be customized to match the robes of the handbell choir or color coded to the bells for which the mallet is designed. |
| Bell Exchange Pulley System. This equipment operates like an old-fashioned, pulley clothes-line system between apartment buildings in urban environments. A ringer clips a bell to the line and an usher turns the crank and sends the bell down the line to the ringer who needs it, when he needs it. This system is expected to enhance visual appeal during boring adagios. Some assembly required. Usher not included. |
|
| Tower Swing Padding. Offered in an array of colors and wood-like finishes to fit any liturgical decor, these thick pads affix easily to chancelry walls and precious altar woodwork so as to minimize the hamful effects of over-zealously played Tower Swings! They are similar in design to the padding often installed along the walls in high school gymnasiums. A 20-page color brochure will soon be available. |
