How Bells Are Tuned.

There are few who know how bell
receives it's joyful or solemn tones.
All bells after they are cast and finish
ed must go through process of tun-
ing. the same as any other musical in
strument, before they respond with
clear tone. Every bell sounds five
notes which must blend together in
order to produce perfect harmony.
The tuning Of bell is done by means
of shaving thin bits from various parts
Of the metal. It is as easy for an ex-
pert bell tuner to put a bell in tune

instrument to perfect chords. At first

would be ruined should the tuner
