Aluminum

 

 

 

This was my first introduction to aluminum bells (above). As was explained during the concert, they were chosen for two reasons: 1) they're lighter than their bronze equivalents, and 2) they have what the choir director called a more "fundamental" tone, by which I think he meant that they generate fewer overtones that tend to overwhelm the sound from the smaller bells.
