The title says it all.

This is a sample of some of the ringing attempted on the miniature bells of the Piltdown House Campanile during Phil Barnes's fiftieth birthday celebrations. Obviously, none of this was taken terribly seriously, and it's certainly not the best ringing which has been achieved on these bells.

It's worth mentioning that these are a private mini-ring, and all ringing is by agreement with the owners.

  • @bellboy222 Agreed, what a ****ing racket...somebody should maybe have shown some sense and took leadership so everyone got the best out of these. Not many clean rows in this recording.....and a few people overpulling.

  • The important thing is to always keep the sallies low on little bells like this, I was in one of the 1st 12 bell peals at Hillbrow Campanile in Liss.

  • get the bloody bell up Floody ;-)

  • Argh! What are they doing?! If that happened on tower bells, people would be mortified.

  • @bellboy222 Already seen the site, yes they do sound nice!! I like the sound of your ring too!!

  • @simonbellringer, this is typical of the sort of row made on mini bells by people unused to them. Look on the Piltdown House Campanile website, there are some recordings of them being rung well there. I maintain that mine are better sounding than any of the other mini 12's, including these!

  • When rung properly I bet these sound quite nice!! Havent properly rung on a mini-ring myself, a quarter peal is on my to-do list!!
