Welcome! Thank you for visiting!
Our website is dedicated to promoting the magic and beauty of handbell music .
The power of the web is amazing! We have visitors from all over the globe. Many visitors may have no idea where we are located. Owasso is a suburb on the northeast side of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Just click on the MAP link above to see exactly where we are located. Owasso is a Cherokee Indian word that means "turn around point" or "the end of the trail". When our town was "born", it was named Owasso because this is where the train track ended and the trains had to turn around. Literally, it was the end of the trail for the train.

High-Speed HandbellThe video to the right was produced at MIT. It was filmed with special high speed film to capture the effect on the bell casing when rung. The video is shown in ultra slow motion so that the human eye can see the results. Even the most experienced handbell ringer will be shocked at what happens. Enjoy! |

A Passion for Handbells

Ringers HELP each other out!
