any good

[Tony15]

whats the best bells on the market? are the dave nobel bells any good? or are you just paying for a name?

[Dave G]

it all depends on the type of sound your after ??? some like them dull some like a good high pitch sound ??? i had some noble bells no good for me but asked andy peels to make me some and he produced the goods cheers dave

[Tony15]

what size would you order for a f harris, and would you bell the legs as ive heard some people like to put it on the back of the hawk?:supz:

[GriffMJ]

I used Noble bells... but then used Andy Peels bells. Peels are definatly the better bell for me :)

[Pitbull]

I liked andys bells though perfered nobels sound,
but when andy gets back up and running i want to see what his berilium ones are like

[BlackShaheen1]

andy peels bells every time for me nice bloke excelent quality

[Coedhirion]

I was told that some foreign that I cant pronounce and cant spell were the best, they were at the Falconers Fair, they were cheaper than I expected and have a super sound to them. As I haven't used them I have no idea how they last :lol: but they came recomended by a couple of v.reputable falconers.
I always buy the smallest size as they sound good and are just as loud as some great big thing. For hunting I always tail mount as I won't put anything unnecessary on a birds legs

I've heard nothing but good things about Andy Peels bells and would love to get my hands on some, but he's not making anymore until September.........I get my bird in August......typical:roll:

[MickeyDredd]

BenC's bells are the best bells not on the market! :lol: :lol:

[Dave G]

hope so mine are coming and i carnt wait come on ben get them fingers moving ;)

[Ben C]

My brass ones were louder than the Larry Counce and the noble ones i bought. Counces and nobels are machined so they look neater. But without question the doug pineo monster bi-coloured ones are the dogs testicles.............AWESOME. :supz: :supz:

[Sean]

bought a set of bells at the honeybrrok stall, or CFF, cant really remember, for a fiver and look just like noble bells, sounds good to me anyway :). tony did you call into the IHC stand? as soemone said a guy called tony called in. but i missed ya :( and had to leave early on monday

[BlueHawk]

Absolutely,

Peels bells the best I've heard, I also have a beryllium set that haven't been on the bird, but you won't get a better service and he's a top bloke too...

Thanks lancz....I think Bod weighed his against Peels and mine were about 5 grams lighter as well. ;-) However that may just have been that set, as they do vary a little with each individual one.

[Dave G]

they sound the bizzzzzz benc :supz:

[Laurie]

Any chance of some pics of your bells Ben

[Ben C]

See the other thread Laurie in this section....they are just bog standard brass though.....at the moment.

Make your own ;-)
I ordered some stuff to make my own bells. It should be here tomorrow. If I get good at it, I'll send you a pair.

[Lee Slikkers]

Hey Jimmy, small world!

I'd love to make some...I can do most any other furniture making things, hoods, braiding leashes, etc. but when it comes to metal and hot things...well, I stink at it!

Good luck and let me know how it goes for ya...

Lee

[Ben C]

Lee....what size?

I am sending Jimmy a copy of my 'home made' bell making DVD. I have to do a voice over yet, but the footage makes it clear what to do, however the quality is not oscar nominated material.

Send an addy and I will fix something up for you over the next couple of week as I am now having a bit of a back log...:supz:
