What a relief to hear such beautifully struck Stedman on these magnificent bells. The stills of the cathedral were also a wonderful compliment - thank you so much for posting!
What beautiful bells and wonderful ringing. I couldn't detect one clip between the bells, they were very uniform. That wonder prewar Taylor tenor doing what Taylor's do best. Pure joy to listen to.
Superb recording! The recording brings the true depth of these bells even though they are 5cwt lighter than the required weight and note, but still, that doesn’t disappoint me whatsoever!
It's it because of the wooden shafts or the factor these are prewars bells. I believe after the war Taylor's changed bell profiles. For some reason the pre war heavy bells seem to have a lovely drone about them. Probably York Minster is the pinnacle.
@@Steven_Rowe definitely the wooden clappers made the difference. The back two had iron or steel (cant remember which one) clappers about 5ish years ago, and they sounded very tinny
@@RingerPeter I think an interesting experiment. Would be to do sound recording of both the original clapper and wooden shaft and then simply play it to people to see f they could detect a difference. I would love hear the comparison.
@@Steven_Rowe Taylor’s didn’t change the profile after the war, the A crook profile was introduced in the mid 1920s and has stopped until lately. Taylor’s now use the D Crook profile which I’ve heard is a copy of the vintage stuff. If you compare the back eight here and at Adelaide, you’ll definitely find some similarities. These bells don’t have the growl and roar like Westbury, but certainly have the fine and musical tone they have today!
What I really love about 10 and 12 bell ringing, and especially heavy bells is the dominance ofthe back 5. It soundds like you are listening to the front 7 dancing through 5 the heavy bells, I find it very soothing and when I drum the tenor to Stedman Cinques I feel I can almost like I have transcended into a spiritual realm.
@@Steven_Rowe it can work really well, but if it's poor striking it gets iffy and inaudible. But when its struck really well, cinques is really really good.
@@davros_adl8155 absolutely true. I know great ringers but I'm not one of them. But to listen to ringing like this and people like the Birmingham band ,well they make it so wonderful to listen to. The sound of bashing around and poor striking is worse than a year old learning to play the violin. I should also add that is the great thing about Liverpool Cathedral the tower acoustics are so bad that its just a roar and you can bash around and nobody can hear how awful it is.
Have you noticed how the pre war Taylor heavy tenors seem to have much more wonderful drone to them. Post war bells sound great but more doughy. I love that drone that you get at Yorkminster Is it a change in tuning or bell profile.
Taylors didn't change the profile after WW2. The profile was still the same before then, but rings with that profile didn't happen a lot before it, so I can understand why you think post war bells are different.
@RingerThomas Hello Thomas, I know you say that Taylor's didn't change the profile but you recently sent me a post where you said thatcTaylors had recently reproduced worn out trickles. To me it really interest me of why bells sound so different To my ear this tenor has a very long sustainable drone like York does. I get the distinct impression that it is not only tuning but bell profile that makes a MASSIVE difference. Even comparing bells of two almost virtually weights it seems a 30 cwt Taylor tenors has more breathe than a similar Whitechapel bell.

With the wooden shafted clappers, the back 2 really do boom and hum a lot more😍

@@Steven_Rowe The wooden clappers here have made a big difference, they let the back bells breathe more and have longer hums.
Awesome sound/striking befitting the fantastic photos! Great vid!
amazing video! 👌
really nice ring, usually 12 bells just gets a way-too-dominant back 4 but this is great

@@RingerThomas well for what ever reason those pre war Taylor tenors had a wonderful drone to themselves
@@Steven_Rowe Yeah!

Bristol on the border of Virginia and Tennessee?
The real, original Bristol, in England, UK
I didn’t look at the title or the video and I thought this was st Mary le bow 😂😂
