Ben Kipling and I considered this at some length. The challenges come as a result of the limited understanding of musical intervals. The answer to your query regarding how to describe rings tuned slightly flat of A or slightly sharp of, would be to use Gx or

This policy makes sense for single bells, but I agree with <br clear="none">
