<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Is anyone aware of any examples of a John Warner <br>
augmentation by topping and tailing, or just adding a tenor, <br>
where they tuned the n-2 of the original ring down a <br>
semitone rather than recasting it?<br>
<br>
(For example, the bells in a major six in G would have notes <br>
G A B C D E. Topping and tailing to make an eight would add <br>
Fs at both ends, but the 4 of the original six needs moving <br>
from B to Bb. In my experience this was normally done by <br>
casting a new bell.)<br>
