Best Handbells of 2025

"After checking reviews, I decided to try these melody bells. I’m pleased to report that both of my sets are correctly pitched, allowing me to use them alongside the piano, boomwhackers, and pitched Orff instruments. I’m very happy!"

"We really enjoy these hand bells. We bought two sets, but one has a bell that is not the right key."

"I got these for Christmas, and we used them at a girls' tea party and our family gathering. They are so much fun!"

"I loved hearing all the bells ring together. These bells were for my 5-year-old grandson's funeral. He fought cancer bravely but passed just before he could ring his bell, so we rang it in his honor."

"The bells produced soft sounds, which were just right for small children. Not too loud at all!"

"During our Sunrise service, the kids enjoyed ringing the bells as we processed forward. It added a nice touch!"

"I bought these to play with, and I found them to be good value and high quality. The beautiful colors make them fun to use, although it does take some effort to get the bells to ring since the pendulum is on a tight spring."

"My granddaughter and her dad had a blast dividing the set to play songs from a color-coded book. It was a fun experience for them and their audience. The set seems well made and was reasonably priced. While desk bells with buttons might have been easier for one person, having two play made it even more enjoyable."

"I needed these for my 2nd graders' music class, and I was impressed by the vibrant colors and perfect quality. They offer great value for the money compared to other sites. We also used the bells for activities with family members suffering from dementia, and they were a hit!"

"I’ve been blessed by the beautiful music from these bells. My children quickly learned Joy to the World using a simple color-coded chart I made. With a choice of keys like C, E, D, and G, all my kids, from ages 4 to 12, enjoyed them. Even my youngest, who gets fewer notes, is thrilled when it's her turn. I highly recommend these bells for families or groups, regardless of musical experience!"

"I ordered the extended sets of bells to provide for a large group. We had a fantastic time playing Christmas carols. Just a heads up—be careful about the music you choose; not all music matches the colors of this bell set. I mistakenly bought music that didn’t match and ended up wasting money on a non-refundable download."

"I absolutely LOVE this handbell set! They fit perfectly into my homeschool music curriculum. The option to either ring them or push the button makes it easy for kids to play songs independently or as a group. The color coding is fantastic; even my younger kids can follow along with the printed notes. They’ve been a joy over the last three months, especially during the holiday season!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this bell when I unboxed it. It has a nice loud ring and was a great price for my Christmas event."

"Twice, I've had a varicose vein issue while showering and it was tough to get help. My wife suggested getting a bell, and we tested it. Even with the doors closed, she could hear it ringing. Fingers crossed I won't need to use it!"

"This bell is a perfect dinner notification tool. It's very easy to hear and has been a great addition to our mealtime routine!"

“I find this bell very useful for my elderly mother. It’s loud for its size and I love the ornate carvings on it. The detachable handle is a nice feature too.”

“This bell is attractive and works perfectly for training my dog. I did have to shorten the chain inside, but that was an easy fix.”

“I was thrilled to find this bell on Amazon after searching antique stores. It’s exactly what I wanted and the price is affordable.”

"I absolutely love these bells! I use them in my special education class, and we can easily play along to boomwhackers on YouTube. They sound great together, and for the price, they are fantastic!"

"The tone of these bells is quite impressive! My family and I had a wonderful time playing some simple songs during our holiday gathering. It might just become a new tradition for us. There are 8 bells, but they don't correspond with the black keys on a piano, which limits some songs, yet they are definitely worth the money!"

"These hand bells are perfect for introducing music to toddlers and young children. They are colorful, large, and easy for my 20-month-old to grip and play. The bells have a beautiful sound, and I love that a music songbook is included. It has turned into a fantastic family music activity!"

"I was initially hesitant to buy it, but upon arrival, I was pleasantly surprised. It's beautiful and seems well made. The chime is lovely; I enjoy ringing it gently just for fun."

"This bell has been in my classroom for four years. It still looks and works as well as it did when I first got it. My students adore it, and even those in neighboring classrooms love to hear it. I do recommend gluing the handle for better stability, but overall, it's a great value."

"I absolutely love this bell! The sounds it produces are delightful, and its quality is excellent. It even doubles as a beautiful altar piece in my home."

"I purchased two sets for a Christmas play at my school, and the bells sound fantastic! Their tone is so pleasing that I had to throw away my old set. While they can be used like boomwhackers, the colors don't match."

"These bells are simply amazing! The quality is outstanding and they are visually appealing. My family has had a blast playing with them, even looking up songs on YouTube to enjoy together."

"As a music teacher, I find these diatonic handbells to be a wonderful addition to my classroom. They produce a gorgeous sound and are in tune, making them ideal for both traditional shaking and tapping on the floor."

“My family and I had a great time trying to play Christmas carols together with these. Totally worth it!”

“I bought these as a Christmas gift, and they were a BIG HIT! We had so much fun using them.”

“I purchased these bells for a family Christmas party. They may not be the sturdiest, but they are definitely on key and the music I found fits perfectly. I highly recommend this product!”
