Interesting, isn't it that a comparison is often made between the 
careful conservation of an historical organ and a ring of bells.   The 
big difference is that, quite often, once carefully cleaned and 
conserved, the action of an historic organ can be light, responsive and 
a pleasure to play ...not sure that the same could ever be said of a 
ring of bells hung on eighteenth century fittings!
