Peace Bell at Newport Kentucky

[BigLightFan89]

Perhaps this massive bell has combined tone with the other two tones. The main one is Pitch A while the second one is pitch D, and the faint tone is pitch E or slight Eb.

[noahsliftchannel]

BONG BONG BONG BONG!

[fanacloche]

this bell is too big and i don't like its sound

[tennotes]

If you don't like the ringing tone, ask the famous Paccard about it. He was one of the founders. The pitch is D which is very fitting for a peel for peace. The bell can be heard for 25 miles. Come to Newport, Kentucky, USA to hear it for yourself.

[grobifrank1976]

...what about "free swinging"??? It´s NOT free swinging at all... Cologne cathedral is free swinging! But the sound is not bad.

[TheBiermeister]

das kann mann doch nicht schwingen nennen dieser mist da

und ein vernüftiger ton kommt auch nicht bei raus WIE EINE KUHGLOCKE!!!!!!

und welches gewicht hat die glocke??????????

[grobifrank1976]

@TheBiermeister wie wahr!

[11dBEST]

[codybaynori]

@TheAngelofNight That is the peace bell

[jorgecarrillo2]

ugly suond

[MegaLilkeith]

o my god the bell club almost swung and knocked his brains out

[pennyf9]

Question, How come it has a very, metal tinny sound? is it me,or does this bell sound wrong, it doesn't sound right.

[MPascall95]

That is not Free Swinging^^

[XenaAmazon]

Sounds horrible.

[MsActresswannabe]

You all sit there and say you don't like it , than why do you come all the way over here to look at it. And yes, we do have the largest free swinging bell.

[kotzundspring]

its JUST AMERICAN STYLE.

[StDonatusOrganum]

No it is not the wolrd biggest bell its in cologne St Peter! Sorry but this bell sounds like a pot OO

[Orgelix]

@StDonatusOrganum Oberascher klingt ähnlich^^

[Glockenfampf]

@Orgelix Das ist Quatsch !

[blackout4491]

I used to live in Newport,but sadly we moved to West Virginia. i remember seeing this ring when i was 3 years old

[Shenkoa360]

I also live in Newport, but I am far away from the bell so I do not hear it.

[1knickerbocker1]

@Shenkoa360

REALLY???

St. Peter´s sound (= Cologne Cathedral´s biggest bell )can be heard throughout our city and surrounding countryside !!!

[cbaynori82]

i live there. and yes the bell is kind of annoying. it goes off every hour!! but it letsme know what time it is without a watch. :)

[trackdown1011]

thats the largest bell still working - the largest bell in the world is in Moscow, Russia and it has a funny sound is it made out of brass or what? what key is it?

[coolcatevan9]

Horrible sounding? I love it!

[accm502]

what's the wait of the bell:)

[librielle]

WOAW

[librielle]

IN - CROA - YABLE

Incroyable !!!

[thebestministrante]

Che schifooooo

[Glockenfreak2]

So arg viel mit läuten hat das aber nicht zu tun...

[milopichu11]

...not free-swinging. It's on a balanced yoke.

[Johnderrilll]

when does this bell ring i live near it and i have never heard it ring! thanks for your help.

[PIlotrcm]

Sounds like the intro to "Hells Bells"

[oli67994]

furchtbarer klang nicht zu vergleich mit dem pitter oder der gloriosa

[tolisdrums]

this and the gotenba bell are the examples that over a specific size or weight, or even both, the sound of a bell cannot be even...even petersbell is somewhat losing some of the tone definition through its overtone

[hondaturbo01]

ugly monster sound

[master111yadielle]

that sound is good. oh is that the bell that had the crack.

[Audinos]

If you are thinking of the Liberty Bell, it still has a crack and cannot ring. It is also only about 4' in diameter and could easily fit inside this bell.

[jesart02]

horrible sound the most horrible bell sound ever

[tolisdrums]

@jesart02 listen to the gotenba bell...EVEN MORE!!! hhaha

[woodyate]

taco bell keeps trying to buy it

[Syrfsup67]

this home newport,thats the dang bell that wakes me up..

[sempreinvetta]

la1?

[sempreinvetta]

che tonalità ha?

[sempreinvetta]

tone that has?

[roemkath]

I think, that the largest really free swinging bell of the world is in the cathedral of cologne!

[Roserade]

it is.

[scythelord]

This was the largest bell from 2000-2006.

[scythelord]

Though, just remembered, the bell in cologne doesn't turn about its center of gravity as the peace bell does. Different category of "largest bell". Peace bell is significantly larger than that of the cathedral.

[rondariccardo9]

it's very orrible

[LHADrummer3]

what is the biggest bell in the world?

[Alero59]

The Dhammazedi Bell ... search by Google..

[861147]

Good question. Google it.

[Alero59]

The Dhammazedi Bell!

[engelbertschoormans]

2nd Biggest Bell

The biggest is it in Gotenba (See this video)

[campanilefreak]

Why were they testing it?

[Hallodsd]

Der Ton dieser Glocke ist. A

[Wijnmuseum]

Enter "Gotenba Bell" on YT and you'll see it's successor, the heaviest swinging bell on earth: The 36250 kg Gotenba Bell, founded in the Netherlands. She's situated in Gotenba, Japan.

[FetteVetteZ06]

The largest free swinging bell in the world is the St.Petersbell in the Cathedral of Cologne.

[Audinos]

Unfortunately, nearly all American bells have arched yokes and ring too slowly, even bells cast in Europe.

[Rumbourak1]

Why do nearly all american bells have arched yokes? - this way that kind of bell

can unfortunately never obtain its full sonority!

[Audinos]

It has been our unfortunate tradition over the last 150 years. It is believed that the balanced yoke exerts less force on the supporting structure, which is most often an A-stand bolted to a beam rather than a European-style cage or framework. The few American companies that install bells seem to think that this is the only way to do it. In fact, most of them prefer to automate bells with striking hammers rather than swinging bell motors, and linear (magnetic) bell machines are unheard of here.

[campanilefreak]

The World Peace Bell was the 5th largest church bell (four were larger in Russia) until 2006; now it is the 6th largest (one is larger in Gotenba, four more in Russia). This is often said to be 66,000 lbs (33 short tons); but it is actually just over 33 metric tons. The bell's weight is 33,385 kg (73,614 lbs), and it is 12 feet tall and 12 feet in diameter. I know they strike it every day at noon, but how often do they swing the World Peace Bell?

[KnightGarter]

The largest free-swinging bell is the St. Peters-Bell in Köln, Germany. Although nice vid :)

[Gspijkenisse]

Dear Knigt Garter, Thàt is what the germans say...

This bell only ecxist for less than a decate so it;s not quite famous.

But this bell has a under tone of A and it is heavier than the st. Peter.

But I must say that this bell doesn't swing much as the st peter.

[Wijnmuseum]

This bell IS the biggest Swiningg Bell in the World (33 tons instead of 24 tons in Cologne).

[meme2702]

The biggest swinging bell in the world was the Peace Bell, but today in Gotemba (Japan) there is a 36250 kg swinging bell...

[Gspijkenisse]

Actually. The biggest bell is indeed the (Ducht) bell in Tokinosumika Park in Gotenba City.

36,3 tonnes.

It's swung with arched yoke, though the clapper actually falls and doesn't fly like here.

vive eijsbouts;)

[Nasard3]

"free-swinging": the yoke-profil is important!

Correct, the largest "free-swinging" bell (yoke without U-profile!) is the "Bell of St. Peter" in Cologne, 24 tones. ;-)
