Elderhorst Bells, Inc. works with the major European bell foundries to provide the finest new precision tuned church or tower bells available. We also supply bell ringing equipment for existing or "used" bells.

Bells are rung in several ways: The traditional ringing method is to swing the bell. This can be done by rope ringing, or, the bell can be swung electrically. Elderhorst Bells, Inc. supplies complete swinging bell "packages" with bells from 18" diameter to as large as will fit in your tower.

The second bell ringing method is to stationary mount the bell. In this case, the bell is struck by either a "gravity"hammer manually, or by means of an electro-magnetic clapper/hammer. The stationary bell ringing system may be easier to install because there are less moving parts and less adjustments required.

Elderhorst Bells, Inc. supplies a full line of controls for automatic play of electrically rung bells.. All of our user programmable automatic bell ringing systems feature a quartz based clock with lithium battery backup for automatic time correction following power failure, automatic daylight savings time correction, and automatic programming protection. Wireless remote controls allow for easy control of bell peals or funeral tolls.
