Handbells etc.

Handbells etc. was a Canadian handbell sales and service company. According to Wikidata, it was a former handbell sales and service company based in Canada that merged into Brandenburg Music. Today the Handbells etc. name survives as the handbell department of Brandenburg Music, an Edmonton, Alberta music retailer. The department is presented on Brandenburg Music's website under the heading "HANDBELLS ETC." and offers handbell music, instruments, binders and stands, gloves, mallets, polish and cloths, accessories, and parts. Its catalogue includes handbell and handchime repertoire for Christmas, sacred, and secular settings, with titles such as "Keep it Simple 5 Christmas Sacred and Secular" arranged by Lloyd Larsen, "Where Courage Begins" by Brenda E. Austin, "Frosty the Snowman" arranged by Tammy Waldrop, "In the Bleak Midwinter" by Holst/Turner, "Rays of Hope" by Sandra Eithun, "A Call to Celebration" by David Angerman, "Resounding Joy" by Arnold Sherman, "Away in a Manger" arranged by John Behnke, "A Simple Christmas" arranged by Jason Krug, "Bellavia" by Chuck Mangione arranged by Hart Morris, and "Joy to the World" by Valerie Stephenson. The department also sells practical handbell supplies such as Tote-a-Bells for Caroling sets. Because the business is now part of Brandenburg Music, its operations, website, and customer service are integrated into the larger Edmonton music store, which also sells instruments, used gear, and offers service, repairs, rentals, classes, and events.

Handbells etc. was a Canadian handbell sales and service company. Wikidata describes it as a former handbell sales and service company based in Canada that merged into Brandenburg Music. The merger means the Handbells etc. business no longer operates as an independent entity; its handbell retail and service activity was absorbed into Brandenburg Music, an Edmonton, Alberta music retailer. Brandenburg Music presents the handbell department on its website under the "HANDBELLS ETC." heading, alongside its general shop, used gear, shop-by-brand, service and repairs, rentals, classes and events, about, and contact sections. The department's catalogue reflects the specialist focus of the original business: handbell music, instruments, binders and stands, gloves, mallets, polish and cloths, accessories, and parts. Its music listings include Christmas, sacred, and secular repertoire by arrangers and composers such as Lloyd Larsen, Brenda E. Austin, Tammy Waldrop, Holst/Turner, Sandra Eithun, David Angerman, Arnold Sherman, John Behnke, Jason Krug, Chuck Mangione arranged by Hart Morris, and Valerie Stephenson. The site also lists practical supplies such as Tote-a-Bells for Caroling sets. Because the brand is now part of Brandenburg Music, its history after the merger is tied to that Edmonton retailer and its broader instrument, repair, rental, and education operations.
