A haunting and solemn sound. Although the semitone bells here are contemporary with the 12, it is only comparitively recently that the Minor 10 has been used to the full. In the 20s and 30s the old time ringers used to ring all their half-muffled peals on the back 10 instead.
This was recorded on Armistice Day 2010 and after many struggles with youtube, I am finally able to upload videos again!
@Whittingtons - thanks so much for this fascinating video, foveaux (Sydney).
