Richard's extract from the WCF website re bourdon  of 3629kg and enlargement 
in 1998 helps, but (if anything) muddies the waters  as to whether the range 
was extended downwards by adding larger bells (as had  been rumoured). The 
quoted bourdon weight is 71-1-20 - where the original  Taylor one is 67-2-22.  Any 
clarification available?

Martin Hough went up there quite recently. He said that there are  some very 
large new Ejisbouts bells up there, but he thought that they were the  missing 
semitones from the bass end.
