[Bell Historians] Re: CD of Worcester Cathedral Bells

[David Bryant]

"Yes I agree with all that you've said but I can't help wondering why it apparently seems that some recently cast rings don't compare altogether favourably with their counterparts from the 20's and 30's ." 
 
Surley a major factor must be the acoustics of the towers having new rings installed. It's become relatively rare for bellfounders to get the opportinity for a complete new ring, and even when that does happen how often do towers with the acoustics of, say, Chewton Mendip come up? Virtually never, I would say.
