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 will receive an order confirmation email that serves as your invoice, which can be paid by check. Your music will come to your email address as PDF attachments. This is not automated - please do not expect to receive your music immediately! Most people receive their music within a couple of hours. Ring Press is located in Eastern Standard Time - so please take that into account if you place orders late at night or early in the morning.
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.
