Wow! I remember sitting in front of this church one day but the bells didnt ring...I live in Long Island and I take the train LIRR To the city every so often...I'm 16 so sometimes I usually go alone tomeet my 30 yr old bro or I just take the train alone to go stay at his apartment which is not far from the city...Nice sounds though :)
this is St. Thomas's Church on Fifth Avenue and 53rd Street NYC - no question. The bells are not hand rung - no changes etc - they are rung or strung with tensile wires to which the clapper is attached, in the biz we call this a "bong-a-tron", but the sound is still beautiful. Andrew Mead is the rector. This is NOT Riverside Church. It is definitely St. Thomas on Fifth and 53rd.
Tis is actually St.Thomas Episcopal at Fifth Ave and 53rd St. in NYC, with the videographer on the 53rd Street side looking toward the side of the church.

This is the Riverside Church in New York City, and it has 74 bells, the bourdon being the largest carillon bell in the world.
