Listening to the Church Bells - Atlantic City

[channing28270]

What Church is the name of this Church?and also come and look at my videos under channing28270 I have a Major interest in Church Bells

[Xerox6085I]

That is a Maas-Rowe Carillon, they may be playing the De Profundis (Funeral Toll).  Definitely not the Westminster Clock chime.

[Joshuamdang10501]

Is that the same church they play westminster or thats somewhere else?

[spikebythesea]

@Joshuamdang10501 Sometimes they play the Westminster chimes at this church.

Gah I hear those bells all the time and they sound so terrible! That building is terrible now. Post-Vatican II renovations just ruined it.

[sanctus100]

it sounds terrible!

there ought to be REAL bells!

[Xerox6085I]

@sanctus100 real bells cost 100s of thousands of dollars these days. A complete cast bell carillon can cost over a million dollars depending on the size of the instrument.

[channing28270]

This sounds like a Maas-Rowe Carillon

[slayer12907]

are those real bells? if not how do the speaker ones work? ive been dying to know that!

[Gspijkenisse]

That's the angelus.

It's a catholic prayer.

Every catholic church is supposed to ring her bells on 6o'clock, 12o'clok and 6o'clock in the evening.

The bell should strike 3 times 3 like you have heard in the vid. Though with ONE bell, not with two bells.

Then a bells should swing for 1 or 2 minutes.

This simulation sucks and it sounds hiddeous!

Better a small bell for 100$ than this ugly sound.

[Audinos]

I'd like to know where I could buy a small bell for $100, or even $1000. That two-bell version of the Angelus strike is called the St. Anne de Beaupre Angelus, and it seems to be an invention of the Maas-Rowe company. Some German parishes simply sound three short peals on one bell, separated by a short pause. My parish simply peals the bell for a minute because there is no tolling hammer. You're right, though. Any real bell is better than the best electronic system.

[Notashooby]

Thats Our Lady Star of the Sea. I spent many years there. Some good, some not so good. But memories are always of the good ones.

[Gspijkenisse]

electric: though magnificant. Nice sound.

[Jm4steam]

yes, electronic for sure

[mjgriff74]

I've never heard of anything like that before so interesting stuff!

[irkibby]

they sound like electonic bells, they probably are because you could never get bells that sound like that into that small turret

[Audinos]

That is a Maas-Rowe electronic carillon. There are no bells, just speakers reproducing the sounds made by the striking of little bronze rods inside the amplifier.
