[Bell Historians] Ludlow

[Richard Offen]

Did they really manage to get octave hum notes out of the Rudhall bells at
Quedgley?

I imagine that the present 5th and treble will have to be recast, as they
would need to be sharpened by a semitone to make 9th and 4th of ten with the
present 7th as tenor. Presumably the others would be retuned as well, though
I believe they were in fact retuned in 1988 (as well as 1890). It would be
interesting to know who is doing the job, and whether the new bells will be
old-style or true-harmonic. Quedgeley, in Gloucester, also largely Rudhall
1732, were retuned in 1993 and converted into a true-harmonic ring, which
the exception of the 1850 Taylor sixth, which obviously caused the tuned
some problems.

I hope they are going to be tuned, the present 6th is horribly flat (almost
a ¼ semitone)!

Ludlow are going to be made into a 10, with the present 7th as the tenor.
The bells are coming out on the 3rd December. Sorry I can't tell you much
more at present.

I guess they are either going up to ten or twelve, as has been planned for
the last five years or so - they have two of the Gillett bells from the old
ring at Kidderminster in store.

Is the augmentation to 12+2# proposed a few years ago now going ahead?
