Thanks, the crew would be happy to hear your comments. Yes they're all local. They practice Tuesdays and Saturdays. They do get help though from visiting ringers who are always welcome in the tower.
Am a ringer who'll be in Hawaii early next year for a break, would love to come grab them though dunno if its doable with where we'll be. Coool, didn't know there were change-ringing bells hung here!
There are occasionally some amazingly low fares from the Bay Area to Honolulu. I've found hotel rooms for less than $70 a night - and that was when the economy was good.
@macstyle2004 I ring the bell at my church too, but a change ringing bell is SO different. It's almost in complete balance and so takes very little effort to ring - but control, that's something else!
the video was made on my Canon SD850. It's just a little pocket camera. The woman in the middle is just sitting one out. The ringing room is a little small. It's a very friendly tower. Two guests were ringing on this day.
@simonbellringer The ropes along the wall are gifts from other ringing towers. Each one has a tag identifying where it came from. The tufted grip section is called a sally and the various stripe colors often have meaning. For example this tower's sallies are a maroon red and gold which were the colors of the Hawaiian monarchy.
I love it!!! I'm the bell ringer for Maria Lanakila Catholic Church in Lahaina....and one of the better ones :o)..... would love to give this a try one day....although i might take too much room in the room, a bit chubby...Hahahaha!!!!
believe it or not, I recorded this on a little pocket camera (Canon SD850). Yes the bells are loud but less than you'd think. Years ago I was standing next to the big bourdon bell at Riverside Church as it struck the hour. I covered my ears thinking that the sound would be overpowering. It was not and yet it could be heard blocks away.
@wurlitzer3 I think it should strike the note D (If it is heavier) or F (if it is lighter than the existing bell.) Really you need to get a professional company such as Taylor's or Whitechapel to come out and have a look for you. Any idea how heavy your existing bell is approximately?
@simonbellringer Here's a question for you or someone reading this post. My little church has a bell tower with one lonely bell speaking a rich E-flat and I've always dreamed of adding a second bell. If that were to happen, what pitch should it be?

These are incredibly loud in the ringing chamber
Tuesday practice is from 6 pm to 7:30. Saturday is at 2.
@wurlitzer3 Our sallies are just plain red, they match our carpet in the ringing room!!

Never short of a spare rope or two!
