First we hear the Karolus, after 1'40 joined by the Grote Lofklok. The whole peal starts around 4'00. The bells are ringing on occasion of Assumption of Mary. At this moment Karolus and Henricus can't ring together, they would risk to hit each other.

  • Een mooie opname ! Ik hoor eigenlijk de tweede klok (  bes0 ) niet...?

  • @duidelijkluid Op dit ogenblik kunnen de as0 en bes0 inderdaad niet samen luiden. Van de koster vernam ik dat men een aanpassing in de toren overweegt...

  • A great recording of this great plenum of bells from Dutch Masters!

  • Vorig jaar zag ik toevallig deze opname. Het was de aanzet om in de Sint-Romboutstoren te Mechelen alle klokken in orde te zetten.
