Agreed Richard.

The tuning is just a small, yet very significant part of the process,  
and the bell casting production demand is very limited at present.

These two functions are two activities involving bells that require  
particular specialized skills, yet remember there are many other  
necessary activities associated with bells.

You have to consider the complete bell associated potential including  
maintenance, restoration, safety, education, planning, noise  
pollution,  and provide a comprehensive and affordable package to  
those responsible for the bells into the future.
