Bicycle Bell
Bicycle Bell for Hire
A quirky little effect, the bike bell is used primarily for jingles, adverts and other recordings. Due to its size it doesn't have much chance in being heard above an ensemble let alone the forces of a full symphony orchestra or band, so its use is restricted to close microphone work.
Repertoire
Williams - Oi, get off the pavement!
Boxing Bell
Buddha Bells
Buddha Bells for Hire
These intricately shaped bell plate style metal instruments have their origins in Indonesia and are known as Kyeezee (bless you). They are made of bronze and are tuned roughly a fourth apart. They have an unusual triangular shape similar, to a Chinaman's hat. Rarely used in performance, they still provide a pleasing bong-like sound.

Sanctus Bells
Sanctus Bells for Hire
These produce wonderful and evocative sounds that are regularly used in films and other visual recordings. The Sanctus bells originate from and are still used within the Catholic Church. They are a set of four small bells similar in size but tuned chromatically each with their own clapper and set in a cluster. There is an ornate handle on top which one holds and then shakes giving an unusual, religious sound.
School Bell
School Bell for Hire
The school bell has for years been used as a sound effect not just in orchestral settings but also in films and recording sessions. Authentic school bells typically originating in private schools often make the best sound. Much research has been devoted to investigating what makes the difference and it has been concluded that engravings play a large part.
