Cool and absorbent, 100% cotton gloves help protect both hands and bells. With reinforced seams, these plastic dot gloves are made to stand up to everyday use and still look great, performance after performance. Excellent fit, these gloves provide a confident grip. Cotton Gloves with plastic dots on the palm side provide an improved grip while making it easier to turn pages.
Malmark recommends that ringers wear gloves when handling or ringing handbells in order to prevent contact with the metal by the hands. Touching the bell casting with the bare hands will cause stains and tarnish due to the acids and salts from the skin. Although tarnish will not affect the tone of the bell, the removal of the tarnish, if not done properly, can affect the tuning.
