Ring of Bells

Ring of Bells
This video explores the social, particular, and historical significance of bells through their sound. The sound of a bell is a complex sound, not only in trying to determine the perceived pitch of the bell, but also in determining what we perceive the bell to be 'saying'. This video looks at different ringers and their relationship to their tower, the casting of a bell, and ringing a full peal on twelve bells, including Hosanna the great bell at Buckfast Abbey.

@Defn28 This is a bourden bell which is meant for chiming and not full circle ringing

@Defn28

Might be because it is too heavy.

@longeaton34

You are right. It is.

[Defn28]

Why is there no stay on the big bell in the middle, can you only ring it down?

[thenewyardbirds]

its funny how the discription talks about what bells might be "saying" the classical beauty of a church bell ringing for the nature of the spirit is totally opposite to the enslavement of the "alarm" of a school bell. READ JOHN TAYLOR GATTO!!! lol

For real.
