These sound nice - those 4 awful Taylor Trebles ruined it!!
Although 16cwt is maybe a little light for a 12 in my opinion... the tenor needs to weigh a ton or more. Although Bitterne Park is an exception.. they sound good, judging by the vids!!
@KDowner94 Well at Rodbourne Cheney Swindon, all the bells (bar the 1931 Taylor treble) sound horrible on their own - particularly the 1675 Edward Neale 4 - that guy couldnt have cast a decent sounding bell to save his life!! Yet they blend together to make a nice 6...
@KDowner94 The back 8 seem OK, but they should get Whitechapel (who tend to be excellent with little rings!!) or Taylors (who cast Banbury's 17cwt beauties!!) to recast the lot into a new, fabulous 16cwt 12.
