Bell Plate "Carol of the Bells" at the San Francisco Public Library

A bell plate is a percussion instrument consisting of a flat and fairly thick sheet of metal, producing a sound similar to a bell. They are most often used in orchestral and theater music. Bell ringer Victor Avdienko performs "Carol of the Bells" as part of a Russian Bells Holiday Concert featuring instruments by Blagovest Bells of Novato, California.
