Dunblane Cathedral's handbell ensembles have an international reputation and have appeared many times on television. Handbells are one of the world's oldest musical instruments yet the handbells used today are sophisticated precision instruments which produce a beautifully rich sound, are fun to play, and a handbell group provides an outlet which is as collaborative as it is creative as all work together to make beautiful music.
