So are there regular practices here in ordinary times? I was moving to Iowa which sadly is a state with no bell towers like this, so this will probably be my nearest tower & would love to keep ringing, even if sometimes!
Change circle circle just to sleep. I was trying to like pats about to go in there. Do I have the camera of the bell?The The Big Big One was was changethe first first and then I was like what is this thing called that I the bells. There’s only I think 50 Mitchell Tower. Trying to sweat your hands, but you want to think about you team do you really like the patters?
I am building a simulator very simulator to the one featured here. I also plan having it mounted on the floor but worried about how high I can install a pulley. Your setup looks interesting with rope going onto the wheel from both sides. I can't work out what is going on but I think it has something to solving my problem. Would you mind explaining the mechanics please?
The clapper is intentionally held fixed by a “silencer”, which prevents the clapper from striking the bell. That allows us to practice without disturbing the neighborhood. Sensors in the belfry connect to a computer which generates bell sounds where the ringers are. We are allowed to take off the silencer for about a half an hour every month or so.
@@tomfarthing2014 Thanks for the explanation. Wow, only half an hour every month? That seems very limiting. I like the sound of bells. I wouldn't mind hearing them every day. Times change I guess...
@@tomfarthing2014 i see yous are replacing these.. was lookin forward to tryin the old ones !😑 but best of luck to yous!! hopefully yous wont have to have them silenced as often with new soundproofing !
Change ringing has always been Anglo Saxon and many would think that don't ring would assume that people who ring are somehow church going people when they normally are not. it is nice to see a Chinese American in the band. I do know of other rings of different ethnicity and I hope that it really becomes multicultural. To strive for excellence in change ringing is great and it put you in a state of mindfulness
Always loved the bells, not done it for years now but I was 15 when I was taught how to do it . The bells in video are beautiful.

I love this old style of music.
these bells sound like the Anglican cathedral in Liverpool

That’s so cool!
IF Count Dracula can claim that howling wolves is "...the music of the night," then, by all means, ringing bells in this manner is MUSIC. and an art.
0:04 What's wrong with the clapper on this bell? It seems stuck, is the bearing frozen?

You should, is fun and when your ringing it take you away from everyday problems.
Is the sound and the concentration.

Dublin had quite a few different ethnicities of bellringers, including Italian, Swiss, Brazilian and Japanese!

I don't think Mitchell Tower is _itself_ from the 17th century
I think the 9th is up wrong.
LOL the dude with the long hair looks so unhappy to be there.
More math nerds than musicians. Group Theory ain't music theory
Someone’s overthinking their job.
