  • These are a very very fine peal of bells - but they are nothing compared to York.

  • But now you are just stating the obvious!

  • Nice sounding bells. Too bad we don't have any change ringing bells over here.

  • Oh but you do! There are not many change ringing bells there, but because the US was a colony, change ringing has had a presence in the states for a long time. Do a google search for "nagcr"

  • Do you still reckon York are better?

  • These are better than I thought they would be, theyre amazing but not quite as good as York. Back end is just glorious here but front bells don't seem as good as York's front bells. I am here in an internet cafe listening to this on crap headphones and they can't quite cope with the tenor humming, they have gone all crackly!!

  • I called a peal from that brute of a bell!

  • nice sounding bells

  • @Whittingtons having heard both in the metal I think I agree with you Richard, if only because to my ears at least, B is a nicer key than B flat!

  • @bellminsterboy This is true, there is approximately 1/2 cwt of rope on each of the bells, however when they are weighed in the foundry the rope that is going to be used on the bell is also weighed. These weights are combined together to get the weight of the bell that you see on Dove's guide. It's detailed in the CCCBR decisions.

  • @simonbellringer I am ringing at Worcester Cathedral on the 21st of February this month and apparently, the reason they are difficult is because they have more rope than you need so i.e, when you pull of the bell when it is set, you are not only pulling the weight of the bell of , you are pulling the weight of lots of rope as well.

  • @PhiloTheRinger I think I've worked out who you might be!

  • @Whittingtons: I'm not that old :-) It was Phil Brown

  • Tbf I'd love to ring up all twelve myself.

  • @PhiloTheRinger Who was the ringing master in those days? Joe Johnson?

  • Rubbish! Tonally Worcester are definitely better than York.. However in the ringing chamber York have better acoustics and they go better. Worcester are actually best heard from the bar of the Cricket Club
