Greetings:

Several years ago I built a zimbelstern using a Garrard Class A turntable.

The best bells to use are upper octave handbell castings C6 - C8.

If you contact your area Schulmerich or Malmark representative you may be
able to purchase reject castings for a reasonable price.

I mounted several bells on the turntable, suspended several fish weights as
clappers.  We mounted the zimbelstern in the choir to control the volume.

Works like a charm!

Best wishes,

Tom Gregory

p.s.  I also used a handbell casting for the bell on my bicycle.  Sure beats
Treck stock models!
