<p class="x_MsoNormal">Could I ask why the new ring of six for Kemberton, Shropshire (soon to be eight) are being shown on the online Dove website as being in the key of A#?</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal"> </p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">If I remember my music theory correctly, A# Major is not in the circle of fifths as it’s structure, with three double sharps, is considered too complicated for practical use.

<p class="x_MsoNormal">The tenor at Kemberton, according to the nominal frequency given on the Dove page is 11 cents flat of B-flat, so why not show the ring in that commonly used key? To add insult to injury, one of the bells is shown as being in E-flat, which
makes even more of a nonsense of it all!</p>

<p class="x_MsoNormal">Rings of bells are musical instruments and therefore, in my opinion, should conform to the tried and tested conventions of musical notation.
