[Bell Historians] Stretch tuning

[Andrew Higson]

I think that was my point too. Carillon stretch is similar to piano stretch. The bells we did for Canberra in 2002 had a stretch at the top of 5 cents.

 

Given all the other things going on with the perceived pitch of a bell when it's rotating I can't help thinking stretch and temperament, within limits, are a bit redundant.

25 or 30C an octave sounds very heavy handed.

Why so much?
