Boomwhackers Chroma-Notes hand bells

Introducing the Boomwhackers Chroma-Notes hand bells

Boomwhackers Chroma-Notes Hand Bells are colour-coded educational handbells designed to make music learning accessible, engaging and fun. Using the internationally recognised Chroma-Notes colour system, they help learners make clear visual connections between colours and musical pitches, supporting note recognition, melody playing and ensemble performance.

Available as separate diatonic, chromatic and expansion sets, the range allows teachers and group leaders to build a handbell collection that matches their musical requirements. Whether introducing basic melodies, exploring chromatic music or extending the available note range for larger arrangements, there is a set to suit every stage of musical development.

Choose the set that suits your needs

The 8-note diatonic set provides the core notes of the C major scale and is the ideal starting point for classroom music making, simple melodies and early musical learning.

The 5-note chromatic set adds the sharps and flats missing from the diatonic set. When combined with the 8-note diatonic set, it creates a complete 13-note chromatic octave from C to C, allowing a much wider range of music to be performed.

The 7-note expansion set extends the range even further, adding notes from Low A to High E. When combined with both the diatonic and chromatic sets it creates a complete 20-note handbell range suitable for more advanced classroom arrangements and ensemble performances.

Colour-coded for easy learning

Each bell is clearly marked with its note name, scale number and corresponding Chroma-Notes colour. This visual approach helps learners identify pitches quickly, recognise musical patterns and develop confidence when playing as part of a group.

Designed for classroom use

Manufactured to a high standard with accurate tuning and durable construction, these handbells deliver a clear, consistent sound while standing up to regular educational use. The long handles provide a secure and comfortable grip, making them suitable for learners of all ages.

Compatible with other Chroma-Notes instruments

The colour system matches Boomwhackers tubes and other Chroma-Notes resources, making it easy to combine instruments within the same lesson and create engaging, multi-instrument music activities.
