Jake Whilst they are a drawcard for many sadly they are dissapointingfor a few reasons. I think they are way to heavy which is probably the draw card for going. Trying to handle 82cwt is I think excessive for most people but that is simply my opinion. It would not matter what bells were in Liverpool, even York Minster would sound terrible as the tower is an accoustic engineers nightmare. With a bucket load of money the accoustics could be solved. The belfry is way to big and so the sound waves bounce all over the place. I false ceiling over the bells and insulation I think would help Also the ringing room is like an abandoned Industrial factory. Money could fix the problems. I look at it this way, bells are to churches what strings are to a guitar. A well designed accoustic guitar sounds great. Liverpool pierhead sound great. I think the nest ringing on youtube was done there by the Birmingham band. Keep the vids coming
The internal acoustics are truly god awful, I know. However they are doing something about it, having finally been given permission to do so. They were slightly better than I had been expecting but were still quite mushy. Though, two huge concrete floors and the steel frame foundations going through the chamber do account for a lot of the mushiness!
@@RingerJake I wonder what they are doing? Even from outside they sound awful amd its the tower that is the issue. The belfry is a massive waste of space. The church could get a telco to use the space for mobile communications . Im not an accoustic engineer the bells are so far from the walls and also the roof that sound bounces all over the place. They really need a false ceiling a d perhaps add some sound absorbing material around the empty space. Only joking but even old lounge chairs and furniture would help. Think how a room echoes until furniture is added. I would love to hear them properly. I cant help thinking that when Whitechapel made them it was an exercise in simply being heavier than Exeter. Frankly anything over around 2 tons is probably a waste. Who the heck wants to turn in a tenor of 82 cwt to a peal of maximus. Mind you York Worcester amd Redcliffe tenors are beautiful.
@Davros_ADL the very first peak of Surprise Max and th tenor was turned in my Peter Border a renewed heavy bell man, well the got the peal and he asked someone to take it from him as he simply couldn't set it.
I have been to both cathedrals I've been inside this one but not the other one I haven't seen the bells in this cathedral
Love the start drawings!
Ein gigantischens GLOCKENMEER!
