Summary for North American rings: pitch

The diagram below presents a summary of the 50 North American rings, according to the pitch of the tenor (bass bell).  The middle two lines represent the keys of a keyboard according to their names and approximate positions.  Above the "black notes" and below the "white notes" are the numbers of rings which have a tenor of the corresponding pitch.

The first note on the left is an octave below middle C; a bell of this pitch weighs about 20 tons.
