We can't blame the tonal deficiencies of Naylor Vickers bells on rust, even though it is traditional to do so.</span><o></o></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#3F3F3F;"><br><br></span><o></o></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#3F3F3F;">Regards,</span><o></o></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#3F3F3F;"><br><br></span><o></o></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#3F3F3F;">Bill H</span><o></o></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#3F3F3F;"><br></span><span style="color:#1F497D;">Its certainly the thickness profile of the bells that is the basis of their problem. Ones that I have looked at show a lack of thickened soundbow, just like handbells.</span><o></o></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;">George</span></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></blockquote>It may be an overgeneralisation but this fault seems to apply to all NV bells, giving Steel bells a bad name in this country (and Australia). When made with correct proportions they are much better - the small demo one in the tuning shop at JT illustrates the point. <div><div><br></div><div>Andrew<br><blockquote type="cite"><div><div id="ygrp-mlmsg" style="position:relative;"><div id="ygrp-msg" style="z-index: 1;"><div id="ygrp-text"><div class="WordSection1"><div id="ygrp-mlmsg"><div id="ygrp-msg"><div id="ygrp-text"><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D;"><o></o></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#3F3F3F;"> </span><o></o></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"> <o></o></p></div></div></div></div></div><p></p>
