The Bells at Temple Square (formerly known as the Bells on Temple Square) is a handbell choir that is an official music organization of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). It was formed in 2005 under the direction of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square (Choir).
The Bells at Temple Square is a double handbell choir, composed of 27 to 35 ringers on two sets of Malmark handbells (one seven-octave set and one 6½ octave set) and two sets of Malmark handchimes (six octaves each). The octave two bells are Malmark aluminum bells. Each part is usually doubled (played by two ringers on separate sets), except octave two.
