Some work, some don't, just as true-harmonic can sometimes work when 
mixed with old-style, but often (and I know Messrs Pickford and Dalton 
will strongly disagree!) doesn't - personally I find hum notes that 
leap between octaves and sevenths very unpleasant.

It all depends on the original martial you are working with.

Don't forget at Masham, it was decided, I'm not sure by whom, that the 
new trebles should be cast to profiles matching the other bells.   It 
works well with Gillett rings, but not necessarily with bells by 
earlier founders!
