Wouldn't it be possible to add trebles cast to chiming weights? That's
what's been done at Manchester Town Hall - the front-end ringing bells are
considerably heavier than the chiming bells around them. I've not heard the
carillon myself, but the general consensus seems to be that the mixture of
weight profiles doesn't pose a problem.

Comments, anyone?
