I play these bells with a group of ladies. We are all retired! We have two sets of bells and each person plays two notes. We meet once a week and have a ball! Laughter, fun. No talent necessary! We dressed like elves and played for our Christmas show. We mark our music with colored pens and count the timing. Must be in our second childhood!

Very good quality and sound.

The black & white colors were more confusing to the children than expected, since there is no size difference.The pitchs were fine. But, I should have chosen the multi-colored 26-note set instead.

There were supposed to be 8 burner protectors in this and there were only 4.

I'm going to start by saying, I didn't expect these to be of an amazing quality or intonation - you get what you pay for and these are quite inexpensive. I'm using them as a prop for a dance in which the performers will start to make the music and vocalists will add in.

That being said, the highest g is quite sharp... it 'can' blend in a chord, but I wouldn't want to hear it too often.

Two of my bells were missing the labels, but all it takes is a quick glance at the remaining bells to figure out which ones they are. I think I will find a more permanent labeling system as the stickers on the bottom of the handles don't seem like they're going to last.

One other thing to note - and this may be me being really picky, but I honestly believe it matters. The labels on this set have the lowest note as "G1" - it's obviously not even close to large enough to be G1 or even near that octave. I haven't really played with them much, but I imagine the lowest is a G5, and the rest of the bells would continue up with the highest being G7.

Like I said, I'm probably being really picky, but I think that if you're going to use them in an educational setting it's important to get it right and teach your future musicians where these bells would line up on the piano keyboard....
