Swiss Bell
Traditional, Swiss-style, solid brass bell.
Hand cast in the pattern of the famous 1878 Saignélegier Chiantel Fondeur design, bells have been used for centuries to track and herd sheep, goats and cattle in the timber, brush, large pastures or open range.
Produces a bright sound that’s pleasant to the ear. (Most ears!)

Love the size and the sound, plan to order more.

Nothing wrong with the bell, it is a nice solid bell. However, I found the tone to be high and piercing. After two days, the sound was annoying, I removed the bell from the ewe. If the sheep did not come close into the barnyard regularly I would have left the bell on. When in tall grass you definitely know where they are.
Just beware of the tone when you purchase.

This bell is lighter and smaller than the gun metal one. I have this on my younger does and on my mini goats. The gun metal ones have an advantage though because I was able to have my address and phone number on it in easy to see size. But I still love this one too. I know where my goats are no matter if I can see them or not.

Quality much better than any other new bells I've seen on the market in recent years. Pleasant, clear sound but wish it were a little louder.
Hilly heavily wooded terrain doesn't help sound to carry, but I used to have an old 'yard sale special' bell I could hear half a mile away. These are the best I've found since the old bell was lost...will likely buy a couple more.

I love the sound of my 'Swiss Bell' from Premier1, and not only the sound, but the quality, very well made! Thank you, a very happy customer, Cindy
