Spitfire Audio has released LABS Hand Bells, a free virtual instrument based on sampled hand bells.

Here’s what they have to say about it:

Add a touch of glistening magic to your music. Many years ago, we dotted a selection of hand bells around the Spitfire office, dinging them at the punchline of a joke. Hearing their sampling potential, we took them into the Spitfire studio, then added vibrato and ghostly effects.

It’s a free download from the Spitfire Audio site. A valid email address is required.
