Yes, but there are lots of other companies in the UK providing these services and its a diminishing market.<BR>

<P>Agreed Richard.
<DIV><BR>
<DIV>The tuning is just a small, yet very significant part of the process, and the bell casting production demand is very limited at present.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>
</DIV>
<DIV>These two functions are two activities involving bells that require particular specialized skills, yet remember there are many other necessary activities associated with bells.</DIV>
<DIV><BR>
</DIV>
<DIV>You have to consider the complete bell associated potential including maintenance, restoration, safety, education, planning, noise pollution, and provide a comprehensive and affordable package to those responsible for the bells into the future.</DIV>

<P>I would also be interested to know what marketing techniques Mr Lucy is proposing in order to conjure up orders for casting new bells? I don't think a change in tuning technique would be the answer!<BR>
<BR>
It is fairly clear that one of the problems which has lead to the current sad situation is that there simply isn't enough bell casting business to go round and I don't think it is just the UK bell founders who are experiencing this problem at the moment.<BR>
