Emanuel Ringers

The Emanuel Ringers is part of the music ministry from Emanuel Lutheran Church in Pleasantville, New York. This handbell group is comprised of ringers ranging from 8 and up. We ring on 5 octaves of Schulmerich handbells and 7 octaves of Malmark handchimes. We welcome all who want to learn how to ring, you do not have to be a member of the church to participate.

About Hamamatsu City

Hamamatsu is the center of musical instrument manufacturing in Japan. Yamaha and Kawai both make their pianos here and the Roland (synthesizer). There are also Suzuki (not related to cars) making all kinds of musical instruments from recorders to wind instruments. The Hamamatsu Musical Instrument Museum is the largest of its kind in Japan. I am not sure if the bell ringers had enough time to visit any of them, but touring the grand piano manufacturing factory (both Yamaha and Kawai offer the tour) is an experience that musicians definitely enjoy. The Hamamatsu area is also known for its industrial origin. Honda Motors (motorcycles and later cars) started here and so did Suzuki (very popular motorcycles and small cars).
You can take a virtual tour of this Musical Instrument Museum HERE
