Rhythm BandColor Coded Handbell Cards/36 Chords
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A set of 36 color-coded chord cards for directing handbell groups. Buy it if you already own color-coded bells and lead beginners who do not read music.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Leading a beginner handbell group without teaching notation first
- Classroom or church settings where players change week to week
- Directing chord changes by holding up a card
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Groups already reading standard notation, who gain nothing here
- Anyone whose bells use a different color scheme
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
36 chords
Enough coverage for common keys, so most simple songs can be charted without gaps.
Detail 03
Chord cards rather than a book
Held up one at a time for the group to see, so the director controls the pace live.
Detail 04
Rhythm Band system
The colors are meant to line up with Rhythm Band color-coded bells, not a universal standard.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No bells included, this is the chart set only
- 02Verify your bells use the same color-to-note assignment before ordering
- 03Cards are printed stock, so heavy weekly handling will wear the edges
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do bells come with this?
No. These are chord cards only. You need a set of color-coded handbells separately.
02Will these work with my bells?
Only if your bells use the matching color-to-note scheme. Check the colors on your existing set before buying.
03Do players need to read music?
No. That is the point of the system. A player watches for their color and rings when it appears on the card being held up.
04How many chords are covered?
36, which is enough to cover common keys and handle most simple songs without running into a missing chord.
