The Sleigh Bell is the quintessential holiday music percussion instrument.  Originally, bells of this type were used for fastening harnesses to teams of horses, designed to make sound when in motion, especially important for sleighs as they travelled over packed snow, warning pedestrians to step aside.  And while these jingling bells are commonly used today as holiday decorations, their unique sound signals the joy of the season's music
