With all this talk of pitch - and the quantity of information already
posted - isn't it time someone produced a list of heavy bells in order of
pitch, with weight as a secondary data element. It would make interesting
and useful reading.
I'm not volunteering this time - but my heavy bells list (on the Keltek
site) - should give someone a helpful start

The trouble is that there is absolutely no consistency. Some rings are
described as one or the other, and some as one only. Db could indicate
nearer to D and C# nearer to C, but in practice as far as bells are
concerned they seem to by used in a rather arbitrary manner.
