Could someone please explain to me why bells hung for ringing and 
chiming bells having the same/nearly the same note, can be so 
dramatically different in shape? I have in mind Liverpool Cathedral's 
tenor at St. Helens Carillon bass bell. I assume that it may have 
something to do with the dynamics in making a ringing bell easier to 
handle and clapper correctly.
