Abstract
A rotating mallet assembly for generating a continuous note from a standing bell includes a base, which is positionable on a substantially horizontal surface. A fastener engaged to an upper surface of the base can selectively engage a bottom of a standing bell so that the standing bell is removably engaged to the base. An arm is engaged to and extends from the base. A mallet is pivotally engaged to and extends from the arm distal from the base so that the mallet frictionally contacts a rim of the standing bell. A motor is engaged to the arm and is operationally engaged to the mallet. The motor is positioned to selectively rotate the mallet relative to the standing bell to excite continuous vibrations in the standing bell so that a continuous note is produced.
