Handchimes were developed in the early 1980s as a more affordable alternative
to conventional handbells. Sharing the same basic characteristics as handbells,
handchimes are a versatile and durable musical instrument now finding favour
with organisations and groups of all kinds around the world. Designed to
stand up to the hardest of treatment in the classroom and in all aspects
of music therapy, these precision tuned, carefully engineered instruments
represent excellent value wherever a ringing instrument is being
considered.

which cannot corrode
