First time i've heard them since the retuning work some years ago. They are much improved. Very nice indeed!

@ProfMoose I can confirm that I have rung St Paul's tenor up single handed, Graham Clifton and Mark Walker were witnesses. I doubt whether I could do it today, though!

@snotrag1974 sorry Matthew, a typo there! What I meant was "the first time I have ever heard OF one of Gillett+Johnston's tenors tuned in this style as being (described as) "major tierce". I have always understood them to be "major third" bells. I'm sure you will be able to tell me what the diffe...

@simonbellringer Uttoxeter is in Staffordshire!

@Presler500, really, I thought it was about a bag of dope!

@JoePeterzak I keep trying, but I just cannot get my head around it, or even start to like it!

Brilliant, can't stop watching it!

I am convinced there is nothing worth ringing on the fylde. We had a day in the area on a weeks tour, we didn't ring at all the fylde towers, but I thought these were somewhere between very disapointing and grim. I thought Poulton, with a little attention, could be a good little 8!

Nice bird shit!

I believe simonbellringer has it!

@timmeh1507, it whinges away in the background like a child who didn't get its own way, doesn't it?

@theshaneshowvevo , I told him (or her) the same thing about a year ago, have a look back at the comments that generated, but they still haven't been corrected!

@timmeh1507 Ewerby are quite grand, a stone spire always helps! Taylors experimented a bit with "thin" tenors, and it certainly worked at Ewerby. I haven't actually rung there since they moved to an upstairs ringing room, they used to be all but inaudible from the ground floor, but I understand t...

What a state to get in! I bet he was throwing up like a soup dispenser most of the night!

@simonbellringer, correct me if i'm wrong, but I can only hear 123212321232123, etc! Where on earth is the 4th bell you refer to?

What applications would this engine have been put to? Or were they a childs plaything?

Nicely edited, I believe! But well done!

@simonbellringer, I am a bit on the critical side I suppose, but I couldn't understand how an 8 by mixed founders could come to your mind ahead of a complete Taylor 8, nearer to the weight of these, and which ought to be fresh in your mind, notwithstanding the fact that you ring at Purton often, ...

What a racket!

@Egg99Rhubarb, possibly, or more likely they are people with something against me!

Whatever anyone makes of them, I know for a fact that they are very much superior to the great big pile of steaming shite that they used to have in this tower!

@irkibby, I suppose I should have added that I know that he is an extremely good ringer, as is his wife! You're right though, it's all about concentration, although the vast majority of "good" ringers seem to manage to ring well without all that stuff. Tim Bradley from York is another one who doe...

Good to see that you have uploaded some good ringing recently. Compare this and your Redcliffe stuff to that awful rubbish at Bathwick and you ought to be able to understand! Hope you keep the standards up now!

@simonbellringer, this is typical of the sort of row made on mini bells by people unused to them. Look on the Piltdown House Campanile website, there are some recordings of them being rung well there. I maintain that mine are better sounding than any of the other mini 12's, including these!

I've never rung there. Don't think I ever will either. What a bunch of buckets!

Real, true and unadulterated talent. Rare as rocking horse shit nowadays, but here it is!

@bellminsterboy, or rather His Dad, Jack's enthusiasm is not in any doubt, and I do encourage young ringers.I'm currently teaching several youngsters to ring, at three different towers in my area. As his dad, perhaps you could encourage him to upload his better clips, poor ringing on youtube (of...

Makes a welcome change for you to upload something decent!

@simonbellringer, sorry, that should have been "Gillett's Over Ambitious Tuning" ! My mistake!

@simonbellringer, they did need the guide, the ceiling is higher than you think!!

Wraxall, a load of crap in my opinion.
