getting up the great bell of tong

[soshanna1]

[soshanna1]

Tuning?

[LeithMusic]

@soshanna1 So the foundry gets rich - in exhange for the bell's historical integrity

[irkibby]

@LeithMusic Too true!

The ring of ten at Coventry Cathedral, cast in the 18th century, were smashed up and recast in 1927 by Gillett and Johnston. It took years of persuasion by the bellfounders to get the cathedral to do this. The old set of bells were widely regarded as a very fine set of bells.

Looks pretty light set.

Same weight as Sherborne tenor which, as I'm sure you know, is the heaviest eight in the world!
