(05/25/07) Each bell in a handbell choir represents a key on a piano keyboard. Typically, each member of a handbell choir is responsible for four bells, though one member of this group handles an entire octave himself. There are different ways to play the bells, depending on the sound desired. To play well requires manual dexterity and good coordination skills.
