Review:
The method presented in this thorough work is a set of techniques which allow a solo ringer to ring two or more notes at a time continuously throughout a piece. Interlocked handle techniques are avoided because of slow setup times and limited combinations. The method is based on modified shelley and four-in-hand techniques. Numerous photos and diagrams help the solo ringer visualize the techniques. The text comes in a 3-ring binder format. Topics include multiple bell techniques, change techniques, ringing techniques, damping techniques, pick-up techniques, adding extra bells, and various exercises.
