Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, the frame allows for precise tuning adjustments. Expect excellent tuning stability if properly maintained and protected from environmental fluctuations.
Adams generally offers a more refined and nuanced tone than Woodstock, while the sound is fuller and warmer than the often brighter Malvern bells.
Medium-hard felt mallets are generally recommended to bring out the full resonance and sustain of the bells without being overly harsh.
