Overall: Looks good. I do though wonder...is a rattle a sad sound? I don't find it inherently carries a specific implication of sadness. The source doesn't think it's specifically sad ("incongruous jarring sound"). From my own research, Eamon Duffy describes it as "an astonishing clapper device like a football rattle", without suggesting it has a sad sound. I would suggest rephrasing that one word and corroborating it inside the article, and then I'd be happy to pass. Blythwood (talk) 21:37, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- @Blythwood: Would you be more interested in the first alt? If not, I'll get right to fixing that first one. Thanks for the tips! ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:19, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
- Pbritti, thanks for the message! I'm fine with the general thrust of your first-choice hook, just that one word which I think could be rephrased or given an extra citation. Up to you if you want to substitute. Blythwood (talk) 22:36, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
@Blythwood: hmmm, if that is so,
- ... that some bells are replaced by a wooden clapper for three days a year?
