Listening to the Church Bells - Atlantic City

I wanted to record the bells of this church. The best time for this would be 12 noon. I got there at noon and a casket was being carried out of the church. Eventually, the bells played, but they didn't sound like I thought they would.

@Joshuamdang10501 Sometimes they play the Westminster chimes at this church.

What Church is the name of this Church?and also come and look at my videos under channing28270 I have a Major interest in Church Bells

[Xerox6085I]

That is a Maas-Rowe Carillon, they may be playing the De Profundis (Funeral Toll). Definitely not the Westminster Clock chime.

@sanctus100 real bells cost 100s of thousands of dollars these days. A complete cast bell carillon can cost over a million dollars depending on the size of the instrument.

Gah I hear those bells all the time and they sound so terrible! That building is terrible now. Post-Vatican II renovations just ruined it.

[sanctus100]

it sounds terrible!

there ought to be REAL bells!

[channing28270]

This sounds like a Maas-Rowe Carillon

[slayer12907]

are those real bells? if not how do the speaker ones work? ive been dying to know that!

I'd like to know where I could buy a small bell for $100, or even $1000. That two-bell version of the Angelus strike is called the St. Anne de Beaupre Angelus, and it seems to be an invention of the Maas-Rowe company. Some German parishes simply sound three short peals on one bell, separated by a short pause. My parish simply peals the bell for a minute because there is no tolling hammer. You're right, though. Any real bell is better than the best electronic system.
