Sleigh Bells

Sleigh bells and hand bells are small percussion instruments for a bright jingle, rhythmic backing and short sound accents. They suit school music lessons, children’s rhythm games, folk music, acoustic performances and theatre scenes. In this category you will find hand bells, sleigh-bell straps, sticks with bells, brass bells and tuned sets for simple melodies.

When choosing, focus mainly on how the instrument is held and what role it should play in the music: a strap or stick easily follows the pulse of a song, a single bell highlights a specific moment and tuned bells help with group pitch practice. Metal and size affect clarity, sustain and volume, so choose softer-sounding models for practice and more pronounced ones for a stage effect.
