Rhythm BandEasy Hymns - 12 Hymns for 8-Note Handbells & Deskbells Book
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A 12-hymn songbook arranged for 8-note handbell or deskbell sets. For church groups, schools and family players working within a single octave.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Small church or school groups with one 8-note bell set
- Beginners reading color- or number-cued parts rather than standard notation
- Seasonal or service playing where hymns are the whole repertoire
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting secular or pop material
- Full 25-note chromatic choirs needing arrangements with accidentals
- Anyone who owns no bells — this is printed music only
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
Handbells and deskbells both
The same part works whether your group presses deskbells or rings handbells, so mixed sets can play together.
Detail 03
12 hymns
Enough material for a service season without repeating, but it is a fixed set list — no substitutions.
Detail 04
Book format
Printed pages, so you will want a stand or table; no audio tracks or app to play along with.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do I need to read music to use this?
The arrangements are written for 8-note sets, which are commonly played from number or color cues. Basic rhythm reading helps, but the one-octave range keeps parts simple.
02Will this work with deskbells instead of handbells?
Yes. The book is written for both 8-note handbells and deskbells, and the parts are identical either way.
03How many players does it take?
Anywhere from one player covering several bells to eight players on one bell each. The 8-note format scales to whatever group you have.
04Are the bells included?
No. This is a book only. You supply the 8-note handbell or deskbell set.
