<p>[QUOTE="George Nesmith, post: 197930, member: 177"]Shape of the object also affects the nature of the ring as does the quality of the ringers hearing. It is a fun place to start but not a good place to end. Learn patterns and makers and styles is more effective in the long run. Also remember that in the EU crystal must have a 24% lead content and for USA makers it meant colorless glass. Lead does not make the metal any better only a little softer so it is easier to cut. There is a wide range of quality in metal that does not have lead in it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
