In this recording you shall hear bells sounding Sol3, Fa3, Re3, Si2, and Sol2.

The twin belfries of Stella Maris Church Sliema contain 7 bells; the five larger bells were cast by the Fonderia Bianchi (run by Angelo Bianchi) in 1937. Two clock bells are hung in the southwest belfry; the quarter bell is by Maltese bellfounder Giuliano Cauchi while the hour bell was cast by another local bellfounder under the name of Gioacchino Trigance.

The largest bell weighs over 4 tons. None of the bells is mechanically tuned from the inside and all bells are hung fixed to their headstocks and therefore ringing is achieved by manualy swinging the clapper to strike the soundbows of the bells.
