Stainer & Bell

Founded in 1907, Stainer & Bell Ltd is a small, independent, family run business, specialising in the publication of quality music and books. There was neither a Mr Stainer nor a Mr Bell. Tradition has it that the six original partners chose the firm's name because it had a creditworthy ring to it. However, a direct family link with the present management team can be traced back to 1912. 2007 saw the company celebrating its 100th birthday. A healthy, vibrant and lively centenarian, S&B is actively involved in a diverse range of publishing activities. New hymnody, scholarly volumes, jazz publications, educational music, 'light' organ music and CD-ROMS, combine with the extensive back catalogue to make the rich musical resource that is the Stainer & Bell catalogue.
