I think a treble which is just 1lb short of 4cwt would be perfectly acceptable for a 21cwt tenor. If they sound weak - the hangings are wrong. I wonder why there is such a large jump between bells 4 and 5 though. <BR>

Look at Loughborough Bellfoundry Campanile for a lightweight front end - I don't think they sound weak at all. Who would suggest installing a 6½ cwtring of six with a 1½ cwt treble? Strange how some people say it wouldn't work!<BR>
