Blue Ridge RIngers Handbell Group

Members of the Blue Ridge Ridge Ringers handbell group rehearse at the First United Methodist Church in Hendersonville, NC, Nov. 3, 2008. Handbells started in England as a way to practice ringing for tower bells, but soon became a separate style. Most people are pleasantly suprised at the smooth and mellow sound they make and also the precise coordination required to play them.(Australfoto/Douglas Engle)
