I like bells, so I have both a Spucycle bell and a Riv bought Crane bell with the stronger spring mod on my AHH. To me, the Crane bells with the hammer are louder than both, and the deeper sound of the brass Crane bells are more easily heard over wind, and by older people who may have lost the higher range of their hearing.
For years I have been amazed how so many people I know are missing that higher frequency range when I say something about crickets or bird songs and I get blank looks. I noticed many friends and family had already lost the ability to hear those higher notes in their 40's.
