After you determine the chords needed for a song, place the cards into the holder through the open slots. The ringers can see the bells through one side, while the conductor can see the chord names from the other. Simply point to the proper chord at the moment the chord is to be played. Since all the chords for the song are visible, this holder will help your ringers to remember if their color is used in a given song. You will find this device particularly useful for songs that have more than 3 chords or chords that change quickly.
