Update from the Office

The handbells were serviced today. "The Bellman" cleaned and serviced the yoke assemblies,adjusted the playing action throughout, and re-voiced the clappers as needed. What this means: All the bells have been set and adjusted to play easily and consistently, so that we can play the whole dynamic range from pianissimo to fortissimo, and so that the bells all have the same "action" -- that is, you don't have to ring the "C" twice as hard as the "D" to get the same volume. No more bells wiggling and flopping on their handles. No more "squeaky axles." No more bells that are actually easier to ring "backwards". I am so excited! Now we are really ready to ring in Easter!
