mingham few days ago:
GAS generally understood in this
country, chime consists of at least
eight bells corresponding to the eight
notes of given octave. but as such
a set would be very limited in tune
playing capacity, one or more bells
are added, which greatly multiplies the
number of tunes that may be correctly
played. Many tunes are composed in
what is called in bell pariance the ley
Of the fourth because the fourth bell
is the keynote. and such tunes re-
quire the insertion of diminished
seventh which we cali the flat sew
enth.' to make the intervals in that
key correct. Many tune also have
one note above the octave or treble.
The addition. therefore, Of the flat
seventh and the one above the treble.

the number of bells In the set amount
