GTG for the ALTs 1&2. New enuf GA, seems neutral, QPQ done. Pic ok. Not too sure about the 1st hook - the source only says "the church says..." and there are many larger individual bells - not sure how much difference "tuned" makes. Maybe I'm being too fussy. AGF on ALTs 1 & 2. ALT1 might be best. Johnbod (talk) 18:36, 13 March 2020 (UTC)
