[Bell Historians] Re: Old peals of ten and twelve

[Bickerton, Roderic K (SELEX) (UK)]

It happens, I visited Stockport S George in the late 1960's and could
hardly believe the change in sound when I went back 1983. Tuning made a
huge difference outside and inside the effect of replacing wood with
steel considerably increased the higher frequencies and clapper knock
was introduced. This was not present in the previous installation.

retuned when they were rehung a few years ago. I asked someone last
night - Yes, he said, they spoiled the only Dobson 10 in existance.
