Maintenance, Repair, and Refurbishing

Quality refurbishing, repair, and maintenance performed on 2-6 octaves of handbells. Your bells will be returned in mint condition. Services performed:

  1. Disassembly of handbells for complete cleaning and checking for worn or broken parts
  2. Repair or replacement of broken or worn parts
  3. Repair of mechanical problems
  4. Thorough cleaning and polishing of entire bell
  5. Adjustment of clapper tension
  6. Re-voicing of bell

Prices: Contact Christine for pricing.

Options:

  1. Deliver/ship bells to my home
  2. I can do the work at your location ~ in a hotel room, not at a church.

The customer must purchase, and have on hand before refurbishing starts: replacement parts for any cracked or broken handles, handguards, clappers, & springs. Malmark customers must purchase a complete set of restraining springs, making sure to order TWO springs for every bell.

Benefits:

  1. Expert refurbishing and maintenance from a highly qualified technician, who is also a professional handbell conductor and concert solo artist.
  2. Saves time - no need to be without your handbells for weeks while they are being repaired. 2-5 octaves may be finished in 2 days.
  3. Saves shipping and insurance costs and the hassle of boxing up bells for shipment, if I do the work on site.
