Port-A-Bell cases is a Christian family owned business that sprang out of the need to make handbells more portable, hence the Port-A-Bell ® case. Thomas Smith is the former rehearsal director for the Dorothy Shaw Bell Choir and is the owner of Port-A-Bell. Thomas has travelled to over twenty countries in his eighteen years with the DSBC. Performances included Pope John Paul II, Carnegie Hall and The White House.

The DSBC played from memory and used no tables, gloves or a conductor. Thomas has been working on this idea for over ten years. He searched many case companies before choosing this line for Port-A-Bell.

The verdict is in...this single bell case is absolutely fabulous! ...
I'm just as thrilled with my new CASE for ALL my solo handbells as Michelle is! I've had a lot of trouble flying with 2 cases plus suitcase due to airline restrictions - which are not consistent from airport to airport, skycap to ticket counter. I've dream for many years of a single case which could hold all my solo bells, yet still meet airline restrictions for both dimensions and weight. Thomas Smith has done an excellent job for me, and I can hardly wait to get to the next airport, proudly pulling my new case! … I got all my bells from C5-C8 in the case, plus microphone, gloves, mallets, and misc. stuff - and it weighs 54 pounds! You are a genius!

I had no trouble lifting it in & out of my car. Thank you, and I hope you get lots & lots of sales, 'cause it is far superior to any other case. I think those wooden cases are going to be obsolete
