Scales of Thickness

[Richard Offen]

The discussion about which key note would be best for Seasalter set 
me thinking: is there and optimum scale of thickness to produce the 
best sounding change ringing peals. Some of the finest rings, eg. 
Evesham, Lichfield, etc. are at the thicker end of scale for their 
key note, but then you have equally successful rings such as Chewton 
Mendip, etc which are at the light end of the range. Surely it 
isn't all down to tower acoustics?
