Trinity New York

[Andrew Wilby]

 RO <I sincerely hope that Holy Trinity, New York don't turn out to be 'just
another ring of twelve' (we've got rather too many of them already!)
and prove to be something of which that great city can be proud ...I'm
sure they will. Richard>

Thank you for your confidence Richard!

I'm running this project for Dill. Like the other projects I've managed, the 
technical spec and the internal and external sound has been carefully 
researched and thought through.

So to is the follow-up package to include recruitment, training, local guild 
constitution and identifying and supporting the future management of the 
tower. This has all been put in place drawing on experience of what is 
necessary and what works. Trinity will start with a strong team and 
hopefully in short order it will be a 12 bell band.

My one area of concern is that Trinity tower seems to be quite reverberant. 
There is a concrete ceiling above the bells at the base of the spire which 
may have to be dealt with if there's too much reverb and the roller door 
shutters may cause a similar problem when closed. Also the chime bells at 
the same pitch are likely to add splendidly to the vibrations.
It is impossible to do more than speculate until the bells are in and the 
new acoustic established.

I am expecting the external sound to be pretty impressive and not unlike the 
new sound from Leicester Cathedral now without its sound control.

Apart from that there is only the minor matter of 3 weeks between the first 
hoist and the first peal which will be ok if all goes according to plan!
