A follow-up to Exploring Handbells Book 1, this book proceeds to the next level of techniques that ringers will encounter in handbell music: echo, ring touch, hand damp, table land damp, martellato lift, mallet roll, suspended mallet, gyro, weaving, and singing bell. The music incorporates techniques from Book 1 as well as these new ones and features all original compositions other than the Huron Carol, which is an arrangement. The music may be played on either handbells or handchimes, though not all techniques are applicable to handchimes.
