explore – listen – look – publish – fresh new music for handbells!
Ring Press is an online music publishing site for handbell arrangements and compositions. It’s a better, faster, cheaper, more environmentally friendly way to get wonderful music for your bell ensemble.
How much does the music cost?
Our 1-2-3 octave works are $15, and 3-4-5 octave works are $20. Handbell solos and duets are $5, and trios/quartets are $10. 3+ octaves with substantial instrumentation and/or choral parts are $30. That price is not per copy- it is for unlimited use by you or your organization. Our quality control ensures that only high-quality music is available through Ring Press, and that every piece is type-set as cleanly and professionally as music from traditional publishing houses.
How do I get the music, and how is payment handled?
You can shop for music using a typical online shopping cart. When you are ready to checkout, payment is accepted via credit or debit card using PayPal. Once your payment is finalized, you will be given your download links for the music. Instant gratification!
Please explore the catalog – and I hope you find just the right piece!

I’m a composer/arranger- do you accept submissions?
Yes! Instructions on how to submit your work, as well as details about the process, rights, and compensation are available here. Our composers receive eighty-percent commission on their works, and retain all rights to their compositions and arrangements. Ring Press is a great way to get your music out there and try some music that mainstream publishers may not consider profitable enough to invest in- or make better royalties than you can get from traditional publishers.
