40 YEARS. That is how long we have been serving the handbell and handchime communities. 40 years... it sounds like such a long time. How many friends have we made? How many people have we met? How many orders have we handled?

40 years ago, Jim and Connie recognized a need and that we could help. What started in the Carolinas soon grew to the rest of the country. Don't forget our Canadian friends. And those in England, Germany, Japan, Korea and many more- as far away as Argentina and Ukraine, to as close as local churches within a couple of miles. We have friends all around the globe. Now if someone can figure out handbells on the International Space Station, we will send up some music. Do FedEx or UPS deliver there yet?

40 years of loyalty. We still have some of our first customers coming to us for their handbell needs, along with new ones that found us last week. So to give back to everyone, we have discounted all the Handbell and Handchime music 20%. That is over 15,000 inventory items. And remember, we do have the largest selection of handbell and handchime music in stock and ready to ship.

But the fun won't stop there, we are working on some more treats for the year. Stop by our Facebook page to see what we are doing. If you are a Facebook member, take a moment to like us; if you aren't, you can still stop by. We are also going to be announcing them on Twitter for those who tweet. And on HandbellWorld, we will have lots of promotional banners to keep you informed.

What we are trying to say is THANK YOU. Thank you for 40 years of friendship. Thank You for helping us to grow. Thank You for letting us know what you need to ring. Thank you for telling us how we can improve to better fit your needs. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the best community in the world.
