Wii Music captures the handbell lovers demographic



The handbell, an instrument that is surely only one grade of difficulty up from the triangle, is the focus of the latest Today's Instrument video. It comes across as cheery and Christmassy, an ap-peal-ing sound which contrasts sharply with the model's gloomy-as-a-wet-Monday expression. Not that we're complaining; such solemnity is infinitely preferable to fake enjoyment.
