Bastow Little Bob Major on Handbells

Introduction

Bastow Little Bob Major is a closely related subset of Plain Bob Major. In Bastow Little Bob at all stages, the treble alternates between 2 blows in 2nds place and 2 blows at lead. The two blows in 2nds acts like a Plain Bob Lead end causing the pairs of bells above seconds to dodge. When the treble leads, the other bells ring Plain Hunting

The great value in this method is as a stepping stone between the standard Plain methods and the standard Treble Bob Methods.
