This past Sunday an octave of hand chimes chimed in on the prelude. They joined with the organ in performing the hymn tune Picardy, which is a French carol first published in 1860. In our hymnal we find it at #463, set to the words, Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence. Thanks to Al, Claire, Velma, and Eunice, we made sounds which set a very quiet beginning to the worship time. Hand chimes were invented as a training tool for hand bells. Here's a photo from online.
