Need a singing baton to make your handbells sing enchanting chords and melodies? Bells of the Lakes now offers handmade singing batons designed to allow you to safely sing your bell just like a wine glass. To sing your bell, hold your bell upright in one hand like you are about to ring it. In your other hand, grasp your baton at the top with a ringing grip, with extra baton sticking out below your hand, and “stir “the outer rim of your bell until it starts to sing.
We recommend the following number of batons for choirs based on the number of octaves in your choir:
3 Octave Choir = 4 batons
4 Octave Choir = 5 batons
5+ Octave Choir = 6 – 8 batons
Singing batons are available in two sizes, large and small. Size makes no difference in the quality of singing the bell, but some ringers do have a preference for which is more comfortable for them. Singing batons are half coated in rubber & half stained black with a polyurethane seal for a classic performance look. Either end can be used to sing your bell. It’s ringer preference (again) as to which is easier for them to produce an even, musical sound.
