>Chris
Dalton does this very well - mostly (with reservations about his strong dis=
like
of a couple of founders) - and makes it clear why he likes or dislikes
certain sounds. I don't have the assurance in my opinions to attempt i=
t,
and in re-wprking my material I've tended to delete any tonal
comments I wrote in the past. Looking back, I find much of the tonal
comment in my site visit notes </span></font><font color=3Dblack><span

>I think
it's valid to have a particular interest - e.g. historical evolution of the
bells / installation - and to say so in an introduction, so that those seek=
ing other
material - e.g. comments on tone - are let down lightly. In
'Warwickshire' I'll probably include a short chapter on tone and tuning, bu=

not comments in the parish/place entries.</span></font><font color=3Dblack>=
