Bell Cracker Symphony

Christmas night dinner was topped off with these wonderful crackers - we never laughed so much! A Christmas must have.

I bought these crackers last Christmas and they were enjoyed by all ages. The bells are well made and perfectly in tune, more hygenic than blowers. The music is also easy to follow.

In the past I've bought the whistle crackers but they're not a patch on these! The bells themselves are much better quality than I expected - should have realised Lakeland don't sell rubbish - and, although you couldn't really call the noise we made with them music, we had a LOT of fun making it!!!

My daughter and myself ( I'm a widow so Christmas is a difficult time) were invited to have dinner on Christmas Eve with some of our best and closest friends. We took along the bell crackers as we thought they may provide some amusement after dinner.We took it in turns to be conductor and must have spent well over an hour in great hilarity trying to get the tunes right! The age group of the party ranged from 14 to 80 but the crackers were thoroughly enjoyed by all.We all agreed it was a wonderfully silly start to Christmas and a great party game that everyone could join in. The 80 year-old loved the little bells so much she played with them over Christmas and took them home with her! We'd already enjoyed the crackers with whistles the year before, so we're looking for something new this year!A truely brilliant idea!

As a musical family, we were impressed with the bells. They look and sound like a smaller version of the kind supplied to schools. The tone is sweet and the tuning good; only the 7th was flattened, which meant you could play a wider selection of tunes. We had great fun with them and will use them again.
