Change ringing: 8 bells at St. Andrews Episcopal Cathedral in Honolulu. Bells were originally a redundant set brought in from England. The newest bell in the set was cast in 1812. It is the only change ringing tower in the islands.

  • Whats with all the ropes down the wall at the beginning of the vid?

  • @simonbellringer The ropes along the wall are gifts from other ringing towers. Each one has a tag identifying where it came from. The tufted grip section is called a sally and the various stripe colors often have meaning. For example this tower's sallies are a maroon red and gold which were the colors of the Hawaiian monarchy.

  • @wurlitzer3 Our sallies are just plain red, they match our carpet in the ringing room!!

  • @simonbellringer Here's a question for you or someone reading this post. My little church has a bell tower with one lonely bell speaking a rich E-flat and I've always dreamed of adding a second bell. If that were to happen, what pitch should it be?

  • Is the practice every Tuesday and Saturday? And what times are the practices?

  • @macstyle2004 I ring the bell at my church too, but a change ringing bell is SO different. It's almost in complete balance and so takes very little effort to ring - but control, that's something else!

  • Am a ringer who'll be in Hawaii early next year for a break, would love to come grab them though dunno if its doable with where we'll be. Coool, didn't know there were change-ringing bells hung here!

  • why do you have loads of porno pictures on you account?!?!

  • @wurlitzer3 I think it should strike the note D (If it is heavier) or F (if it is lighter than the existing bell.) Really you need to get a professional company such as Taylor's or Whitechapel to come out and have a look for you.

    Any idea how heavy your existing bell is approximately?

  • I love it!!! I'm the bell ringer for Maria Lanakila Catholic Church in Lahaina....and one of the better ones :o)..... would love to give this a try one day....although i might take too much room in the room, a bit chubby...Hahahaha!!!!

  • Never short of a spare rope or two!
