Pros:
Announce cocktail hour, Announce dinnertime, Make lots of noise, Perfect for ding dongs
Cons:
Polish after a while
Best Uses:
Near the bar, Near the barbeque, On the boat
Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
I like the sound of a brass bell. If it drives the neighbors nuts that is a bonus. Very nautical looking and has a great sound. Removable from bracket.
