Re: Slipped Bell Ring ing

No doubt dry atmospheric conditions shrunk the bell just enough to make the band loose, and if it's now stuck hard, crooked and immovable, then dryness should free it up again to move back into place. The real question is then how to make it stay that way. Loose rings tend to be indicative that the wood is below its happy parameters of hydration, so address that matter and generally loose rings will tighten up. They really must be tight one way or another however, in order to do their job of belting the wood against cracking, much like the steel bands on a wooden barrel.
