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?

Never short of a spare rope or two!
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!
