Description
The ideal setting for the spring is one that enables the ringers to carefully handle the bell without its ringing accidentally, yet permits the bell to be rung with a light touch for soft musical passages.
The means of adjusting the tension on either spring in a bell to a different degree of restraint is a distinct advantage when ringing Four-in-Hand. By increasing the restraint on the return stroke spring, the possibility of accidental back ring is reduced or eliminated. The same means can be used in helping to eliminate unintentional double strike or back ring with the usual technique of bell ringing.
