Description

This is a small brass hand bell with a handle, rung by shaking it rather than pressing a button or pulling a fixed clapper. Being portable is the whole point — nothing about it needs mounting or fixing, so it goes wherever the person calling with it goes, whether that's out into a beer garden to call last orders, between function rooms at an event, or across a large pub where a single fixed bell on one wall wouldn't reach every corner.

It suits venues that need to call attention somewhere other than a fixed bar point — a beer garden, a function room, a market stall or an outdoor event — rather than a bar with one obvious spot for a wall-mounted bell. For calling last orders from a fixed position behind the bar, a wall-mounted ships bell is generally the more practical choice, since it's always there and doesn't need to be found first. This one is louder than a press bell but not as deep-toned as a full ships bell.

Questions about this product

How does this differ from a ships bell?

A ships bell is wall-mounted and rung in place by pulling its clapper, so it always stays at one fixed point. This hand bell is portable and rung by shaking it, so you carry it to wherever it's needed u2014 a beer garden, a function room, or between areas of a large venue. Choose the hand bell when the calling point needs to move; choose a ships bell when it's always the same fixed spot, such as behind the main bar.

Is it loud enough to use outdoors?

It carries well enough for a beer garden or courtyard, and being portable, you can walk it closer to the people you're calling rather than relying on volume alone, which is an advantage a fixed bell doesn't have. It won't match the depth and reach of a full-size 7 inch ships bell across a very large open space, but for a typical pub garden it does the job well.
