Now that's a bell. Also the chain looks large and heavy.

That's the largest of a whole set of handbells. I'll be posting more about them at a later date.

That's a big bell. She looks like she enjoying ringing it.

I haven't read your follow-up post, but that only looks like a G3 or so.

Now, D3 and below... THOSE are big bells!

It was the largest one of the set that the handbell ringers had on display at the event.

I think they did say that they had a lot more bells than just the ones they'd brought to the church.

Ah, that would make sense.

Thank you for the answers!
