Church bell app?

So then LC may be the solution, since it can play any sort of sound. That it can also play those sounds when you want it to is just lagniappe.

Steampunking is always great.  For church bells, part of the problem will
be getting the tone, cadence, etc. the way you want it.  That was what I
was trying to point out with the goal horns app - that you might be able to
reproduce the sound of the sort of bells, chimes, etc. that you want.  If
you go to a garden store, think about all the different windchimes that are
sold and how different they are between brands, sizes, materials, coatings,
etc.  Some manufacturers take great care in tuning their chimes just so,
trying to get a certain decay and harmony.  The same can be said of bells.

On the first day, God created the heavens and the Earth
On the second day, God created the oceans.
On the third day, God put the animals on hold for a few hours,
   and did a little diving.
And God said, "This is good."
