Muse Handbells Reviews

The handbells are wonderful. The notation addition is a huge timesaver, as it adds the appropriate augmentations. A hope for the future would be to have the notation augmentation work for only the stave/voice that it is attached to. A lot of times, LVs are only for a certain group of notes, not both staves until it is turned off. Same with shakes...it applies to both staves, and not just one staff. But working around it is good for now. Thank you!!

Good

Really really high quality sounds. It's much better than most other free musesounds .

Partner Response: So glad to hear that you are enjoying the handbells!

Got this shit for free!!!!

Partner Response: Hell yeah you did!

Really nice to have, but there are some things I will mention - missing suspended mallet (in the air), which is the only "main" technique I see missing. Also a strange bug with long sustains where there's a sudden loud jolt right at the end of the sustain - I also think sustains should last a shorter time (mostly on louder dynamics).

Partner Response: Thanks so much for the feedback! We did our best to cover the main articulations, but suspended mallets unfortunately didn’t make it into this round of recording. They were definitely on our “wish list,” but we had to make some tough choices about what to prioritize. We truly appreciate you bringing it up — it’s valuable input for us as we plan future updates. For the sustains, most are natural ring-outs of the bells, with only the lower bells trimmed slightly so we could make room for other articulations. We hope this library still helps bring your handbell and chime parts to life in your scores!

It sounds so beautiful, I will definitely be using these in my template, thanks team <3
