CHAMBER BELLS GET A SPOT O' POLISH

Years ago I acquired this set of English Chamber Bells (see original post HERE):


Which I restored to look like this:


At that time in November of 2012, I had a little experience under my belt in refurbishing metal and wood percussion instruments, but having previously only used "Brasso" on metal drum rims and cymbal stands, I was a little unsure what affect this polish might have on these delicate, ornate bells.  I decided to leave them alone rather than risk ruining them, remembering the exorbitant price I had paid to own them.

Shortly thereafter I went to work for Jeffers Handbells, where I gained much knowledge concerning cleaning, servicing and caring for handbells.  Therefore, with better skills and materials, I decided to undertake the task of cleaning the Chamber Bells, and was greatly pleased with the result.
