my melodeon must be female because when i am out playing music my wife when asked "where's Ken" says he's of with his mistress again.

explain how church bells are she?
treble going treble gone- no she there
tenor lies behind, make places, = no
dodge,single, BOB now here we could be Roberta but probably not.
Grandsire would be male.
Great George, Big Ben, and most of the big tenor bells are male names

Enjoy your ringing and if you have not tried give it a go it is certainly a folksy pursuit and involves drinking beer afterwards as a rule.
