I find that many such bells pendulum beautifully on their own, but have to
be really driven in when being rung with the others, making them hard work.
A good recent examples is the tenor at St Wilfrid's York, although in this
case I think it is caused by the bell being much longer-waisted than the
others rather than by being tucked up more.
