Well, I should have gone with the Rivenbell from the bell. I got their hammer strike bell, https://www.rivbike.com/products/hammer-strike-bell-brass, and this is a wonderfully deeper tone that nearly everyone but the deaf hear, even with wind, birds, conversation, and traffic in various combination.
Usually one dig does it. First time on the MUP trail, I test rang it as it parallels the highway. DIIIIING! I rounded the top of the hill and dropped down to the horse barn to see a man smiling and waving and standing to the side of the trail. Wow. This beastie works! Didn't even know the lad was there. My own experience places the Rivenbell as much ahead of the SpurCycle bell as the SpurCycle bell is ahead of the other bells. Both are friendly, but the Rivenbell's deeper, louder tone gets heard and that makes all the difference.
