The sound of Petit & Fritsen handbells is very complex. Upon first hearing these Dutch bells, people are often reminded of tower bells. The unique sound of the Petit & Fritsens comes from their differences in both the bronze alloy and the casting profile, resulting in a unique combination of fundamentals and overtones. Although Petit & Fritsen still manufactures carillons and peal bells, their handbells are no longer in production.
