  • Ever wondered how the music works in Bell Ringing? Call Changes is the basic way of creating music for Church Bells, and it's all achieved by swapping pairs of bells in a sequence. Here's a demonstration and explanation for you.
    Entered into the Central Council of Church Bell Ringers' video competition for August 2020. (Best demonstration of Change Ringing not on Tower Bells.)

    Ringing maths and pint glasses what a perfect combination. In Devon and Cornwall they only ring call changes explains the empty pint glasses at the end of each evening.

    Have to say this explanation was really good and easy to follow (i mean i am an ‘experienced’ ringer but it made complete sense and thought it was a very good explanation)

    thanks for the great video :) I'm curious why, in the original order, 1 and 4 cant be swapped. Aren't they next to each other as the pattern loops? 1, 2, 3, 4, 1... can't become 1, 2, 3, 1, 4

    And as most ringers know, ringers love pint glasses, normally filled with real ale.

      Indeed, but one shouldn't drink and describe.

      @@JamesTheBell1 I actually know a ringer who has rang over 4000 peals who went for a peak at the Imperial Institute in London, he had a few pints before the peal and rather than loose the peal simply peed himself and carried on for another two hours.
      What a silly boy

    I was No 3 bell and the Captain called 3 follow 4 …..I did that ok and then he calls 4 follow 3 ….and I don’t know who I then follow….so I screw up the whole change series by being too slow to think I should follow 2 again? Felt so guilty I went off to pub and got drunk.

      Oh please don't feel guilty. Knowing who to follow can be hard at times. That's why I made this video. :)

    Please ring a QP on these and claim it as the first rung on pint-sized bells! =D
