Introducing the Percussion Workshop combi hand bells These colourful combi handbells provide an engaging and accessible way to explore melody, rhythm and ensemble playing. Available in a choice of note sets, they are ideal for schools, music groups and classroom music-making, helping players of all ages develop musical skills through hands-on performance. They can be played simply by shaking the bell or alternatively on a desk by pressing the button on the top of the handle, which is clearly marked with its note name. Suitable for use in classrooms, rehearsal spaces and performance environments, they offer a fun and engaging introduction to melody and ensemble playing. The combi hand bell orchestra CB8 main set of 8 combi hand bells The CB8 set is the core handbell set in the range, covering notes C64-C76. Ideal for classroom use, it provides an accessible and engaging introduction to melody, rhythm and ensemble playing. CB5 chromatic expansion set of 5 combi hand bells The CB5 set contains the sharps and flats needed to complete the chromatic scale. When combined with the CB8 main set, it creates a full chromatic octave, making it ideal for more advanced classroom ensembles and wider musical repertoire. CB7 extension set of 7 combi hand bells The CB7 set extends the pitch range above and below the standard note sets, adding three notes below and four notes above the standard range. This allows players to perform a wider variety of music and build a more versatile classroom handbell ensemble. Used individually or combined together, these sets allow players to build a complete chromatic handbell collection suitable for classroom ensembles and group performances. Built to last Each bell is accurately tuned and housed within a sturdy clear plastic shell, protecting the instrument without compromising its bright, resonant sound. The durable construction makes them ideal for regular classroom use, while the colour-coded notes help players quickly identify pitches and perform together with confidence. All sets are supplied in a strong, colourful box with a practical carry handle for convenient storage and transport. The Percussion Plus Colour & Play series Teaching music to young groups requires plenty of coordination, technique and concentration, and sometimes it can be difficult to get cohesive tunes out of your whole class ensemble. Relating specific colours to specific notes can be engaging and helpful for young students learning the basics of music notation, enhancing their development from the early stages. Drawing on this concept, Percussion Plus makes a range of brightly coloured, accessible instruments which are great for teaching young students basic musicianship without needing to worry much about technique, the Colour & Play series. Colour Match All the instruments in this series are coloured according to Percussion Plus' Colour Matching Note System, so anyone can enjoy playing without prior knowledge of musical notation. For example, these combi bells are colour-coded to match the following products: Wak-a-Tubes PP935 Chime Bars PP015 Hand Chimes
