Veronese style heavy sixes

[David Bagley]

Sorry this is a bit late - I've been away!

St Elena in Venice are about 44cwt and I rang there on 18th July 1986.

I've uploaded a brief (14 second) sound clip to :-

This is called in Italian using the numbers 4-9.

The back 6 at Arzignagno at 48 cwt can be heard here :-

I can't wait to hear about the heavy 6 in America and how they are hung and 
rung.
