Public Appreciation of Quality Like many others, I have stories of non-ringers appreciating good ringing without having to be told what it is. I suspect that many of them wouldn't be able to say what makes it good, but that doesn't mean that they can't appreciate it.
Similarly, I suspect that most, if not all, ringers can tell the difference between good and bad ringing. Therefore, the difference in ability lies in realising what isn't right and having good enough bell control to improve it.
