The Handguard
The Handguard is sometimes called a collar or handle disc,
but its primary function is to keep the hand from touching the bell
while permitting a firm grip on the handle.
For comfort and durability, the handguard is made of clear LEXAN* with the
note and octave designation on the underside where it can clearly be seen
through the plastic material.
This provides a smooth surface for contact by the hand holding the bell and
eliminates wear or obliteration of the note designation.
