A mini ring is a portable ring of bells which demonstrates the English full-circle style of ringing. The public can easily see how it works.

The Singing Bell technique is adapted from the "Singing Bowl" tradition of Tibet. [12] A tower swing is when the bell is rung and then swung down and a bit behind the ringer and back up to the normal position. This creates an "echo" effect. The mouth of the bell must rotate around to create the sound change that resembles a tower bell.
