@bellminsterboy Not at all, I was merely saying that I am not a fan of Taylors. Anyhow, I come to realise now that my comments about Taylors in the past have been rather ridiculous and un-informed, but now i know that Taylors, have and STILL CAN produce cracking stuff whether you like them or not. Most of Taylors 'vintage' stuff is SUPERB!!! (still prefer whitechapel though - honest opinion only). :)
-
@KDowner94 so are you saying that York, Worcester, Exeter, Evesham etc are crap?
If you are then think again!
-
@bellboy222 absolutely!
-
@KDowner94, glad to see that! Taylor's have a great deal at stake with Cornhill, and the people behind the "new" Taylors are not the sort of people who would allow rubbish to go out of the door to anywhere, never mind Cornhill. I'm sure the tower will still wobble about, like most London towers do, but I believe that we can all look forward to a particularly fine, if slightly twitchy ring of 12 which will finally do justice to a splendid looking tower!

@bellboy222 Take back my word - these really are awful aren't they!! I reckon the new will sound fantastic - judging by the video of irkibby's of the new Tenor!
-
I can't see how people dislike the bells of St. Pauls and then go on to say that these 'aren't too bad'.

Both foundries have produced some really uninspiring dross in the last 40 years.

@bellboy222 Hi, I agree that Taylors have cast some brilliant peals of bells in the past, I'm just not a fan of modern Taylor bells thats all - the towers you have mentioned sound fantastic!
-
No one can honestly say any of those are rubbish! Closer to home, and a lot lighter, what about Portsea for a cracking 8? I'm not trying to say that Whitechapel bells are no good, they're probably casting the better rings at the moment. We will soon see what the new 12 for Cornhill are like. Taylors replaced the bells lost in the war at St Dunstan in the east (now gone) and those lucky enough to ring on them in the short time they were there said they were the finest in the city of London.
Very good ringing - but hey, it IS the ASCY
Are they as difficult to ring as theyre made out to be? I think they sound OK actually.

@simonbellringer I rang the 5th to stedman cinques it went okay but it did try to drop once or twice.
