[Bell Historians] John Harrison

[David Bryant]

"John Harrison would certainly been able to tune to a fairly high resolution, probably to the nearest cent, as he was using a bass viol and monochords, which he also used to experiment and train "his" choir."

He may have been able to tune his reference instruments to that level of accuracy, but even if he could that doesn't mean he would have been able to tune bells to that level of accuracy, does it?
