<br>
Even if the recording is good, playing it back from the tower loud enough<br>
to sound credible might demand some meaty (and probably expensive) kit.<br>
Maybe locating the speakers closer to the area where the action (ie<br>
photography) is would reduce the power needed.<br>
<br>

<br>
If you can find a band willing to do it, I would recommend that. It's<br>
more personal, because you are there performing for them, not hidden,<br>
and it often creates interest for the guests.<br>
<br>
You need loud bells though. Handbells suitable for change ringing in a<br>
living room get lost in a churchyard. I have Malmark bells, which have<br>
three loudness settings, the the loudest of which is only suitable for<br>
use outside, or in a large hall.<br>
<br>
