Habituellement, je ne suis pas attiré par ce genre de sonneries, mais je dois avouer que celle-ci me plait beaucoup. Elle est même très intéressante !
Absoloutely fantastic sound and some fine ringing!! Which is the bell at 0:26 btw? My ears tell me it's the 6, my gut tells me it's a little out of synch, lol!!
Oh and I see John Gwynne rang, he used to be a Swindon ringer!! Know him well?
At the same time this was going on I was conducting my first Triples also, 1288 GRandsire in 48 minutes at St Mark Swindon, lol!! :)
@simonbellringer It is the 5th alongside the two trebles on the top tier. And yes, I have rung with John Gwynne a fair bit but not too much. He rings at Warwick who practice on Wednesdays, the same night as my own practice so I only see him for quarters etc
@irkibby Yes, I have rung with him a couple of times at Warwick St Marys (not St Nicks as theyre out of action!!) a couple of times, plus a couple of quarters earlier inm the year. Where do you ractice? Because Wednesbury ppractice on a Wednesday and you threatened to come over had we gone, lol!!
@simonbellringer St Nicks will be ringing again in about a months time. The Wednesday practice is at Stoke in Coventry, they're here on my channel somewhere. And I can miss the occasional practice.
@irkibby Lol, great to hear that St NIcks will soon be back, them and Allesley are the only towers my brother has (and should ever have!!) over me; he rang the "old" 8 at Allesley before the 3 & 4 were replaced!!!
@simonbellringer They're still essentially the same ring, if you want to ring the 4th is is still in the tower with a chiming hammer, and the 3rd is still waiting at Loughborough and will at some point be hung for ringing again. So all is not lost, not that they were a good sound anyway... ringing the back six was just unpleasant because of the two "thud"s on the front of the change.
Very interesting, I think it's the first half muffled video which appears on YouTube with an internal film. It's very interesting, although it's difficult for me to relate it to a funebre peal. I don't understand how the system stay-slider works...
@meme2702 It was the first time i have been close to bells with muffled clappers. I did not know the clapper bounced so much. What would you consider a "funebre peal"
The stay system here was used only by John Taylors when they hung bells. It is called the Hastings Stay, i have a drawing which explains.
@irkibby In my region the way of announcing that a person in the parish has dead is very different in each single village, but in general only one bell is struck with distant tollings.
That's great! I Love your videos!! Does this sound like an echo occur more often? It's completely new to me, but very attractive. ***** Thank you, irkibby! :-)
Sound's great!.

@meme2702 The same is true here. It is rare that full circle change ringing is done for a funeral or somebody dying.
Half muffled ringing is done every year for the day we remember soldiers that died in wars
