Owning Handbells - A Dream

I've decided that if I ever win the lottery, I am going to buy myself a set of handbells.  Of course, I'll have to buy a house that has a room big enough to put them in.  But if I win the lottery that will not be a problem LOL  I have always wanted to have my own set of bells.  Ever since I was a toddler.  I remember my Mom looked and looked for a set of bells for me for Christmas and finally found one.  I believe I was in kindergarten or first grade when she got them.  Or when Santa brough them to me. Good memories.


I would just like to have a full set one day and form a choir just for the fun of it.  But let me tell you they are expensive.  Even looking at listings on Ebay, they are expensive. I did find a five-octave set along with tables, pads, cases and music for a mere $14,500.  Pocket change LOL  Maybe one day!!

I was always surprised that UNCG never had a bell choir considering how many church musicians it turned out of its music department.  Ah, well.  Still, I would love to get people together just to make music like that.  I think it would be fun. Until then, hopefully I can find a choir to join in the area.  Still, it's nice to have a dream.
