this is cool

Very nice, Wish the tempo was a bit higher. Also A word the the guy in the bass, not so much wrist movement. Down in that area (C-F3?) you can hurt yourself BADLY if your not careful. From what it looks there was way too much movement, should keep the wrist pretty straight with a forward and back movement instead of the circle.

were playing that in bells at my school and im d natural and b flat and were ringing chimes not bells

[SavageInsight]

Interesting bell-tones. The actual "ding"/pitch isn't very sweet, a little shrill and tinny to my ears, BUT the resonance is amazing. They just don't fade.

I'm guessing this is a 3-4 octave handbell choir. I like how you guys are split into two rows. It'd make sense to have the higher range bells behind the lower range bells. Why? Because of the sound difference so you can hear the lower bells better. But that's just my opinion.

Higher bells can be heard from just about anywhere. Plus the camera operator was sitting really close. I love the video though! :] We play this version much faster.
