Patrons received exclusive early access to this post.
A couple weeks ago I left you on a cliffhanger after taking apart a Schulmerich handbell and explaining its anatomy.
Now, it's time to see if we can put our poor C4 handbell back together again.
While this lesson focuses on Schulmerich instruments, I plan to produce a similar lesson for Malmark handbells. I plan to also touch more specifically on refining tension settings and how to properly voice a set of handbells in future Handbell How-To lessons. We'll also be replacing the restraining spring that broke during the Auld Lang Syne new year video.
Please take a moment to contribute to the YouTube comments section for this video with a question, comment, or suggestion for future content. While you're there, please smash the thumbs-up button. Every user interaction is factored into the YouTube recommendation algorithm, and that helps expose these lessons to a broader audience.
Looking forward to the next month, there will be some Patron-exclusive content of lighter fare. As much as I might enjoy working on the #BuildBetterBrains educational series as a full-time gig, my paid responsibilities as a college educator are going to keep me particularly busy in April.
Thank you for your ongoing support of these #BuildBetterBrains lessons and demonstrations. Every video share, every comment, every cent helps make what I do better.
