I also absolutley agree with this, as a keyboard and (lapsed!) string musician. Perhaps we can stick to a convention for classifying the keys of rings, ie A,Bb,B,C,C#,D,Eb,E,F,F#,G,Ab, (probably the most commonly scored keys?) but also be sure to correctly assign the notes of each bell within the ring according to the designated key (eg E# instead of F in a C# ring). Not only is this approach logical, it is easily understandable as it is in line with conventionally scored music. Musicians understand that (on a keyboard) E# relates F; anyone wanting to classify the keys of bells should understand that too.<BR><BR><p><p><br><hr size=1><a href="http://uk.yahoo.com/mail/tagline_xtra/?http://uk.docs.yahoo.com/mail_storage.html"><b><font face="Arial" size="2">Get a bigger mailbox -- choose a size that fits your needs.</font></b></a><br>
