Do let us know if you intend more of this. I think it would be
entertaining to compose peals specifically for. You'd want to minimize
the number of littlest bell rollups, among other things, I suspect.

Have you ever tried (in hand, obviously) ringing an entirely chromatic
twelve? It seems the obvious fulfillment of the Poxilydian
revolution.
