True, fact is more important than fiction but I have heard that opinion
stated by several independent sources which I consider reliable. Of
course, different people have different opinions but you're the first
person I've come across who has anything to say in favour of the tonal
qualities of Masham bells. I must hear them myself sometime to form my
own opinion.

I think I am taken seriosuly as a bell historian, from the comments I've
had on my websites and articles, and frankly I find your tone rather
patronising.
