How is it that you’re pulling the rope and the bell is not ringing? How do you silence the bells?

I have been bell ringing for two months but only very brief rope time and still don’t understand the technique of the backstroke and I keep losing the momentum of the bell. Very disheartening

I must have watched this 50 odd times now, one of the best short documentaries on ringing on KZbin! I especially appreciated how candid Ant was about any apprehensions or frustrations he felt; ringing is definitely one of those activities that requires a lot of practice to get to a point of stable-enough bell control, and even after decades of ringing the best ringers will still muck uo here and there 😂 I've been learning to ring for about 8 months now, and am about to move on to call changes for the first time, so I'm super excited (also nervous lol) to get started on that!

Handling the bell is the easy bit! Ringing in time with others, gaining "rope sight", and then learning methods are the tricky bits.

There is something magical about the bell ringing ... In the city of Yaroslavl, the bell tower of the Assumption Cathedral has not yet been built.

Hard to imagine those hand pads would be that clean with so many hundreds of hands pulling on them thousands of times. Of course 99% of that great tradition of bell-ringing isn't done by hand and they're definitely not "regular" bells heard in the background of these videos or pealing in the distance during British travel propaganda/documentaries. Standard bells just don't ring like that folks. And damn sure not when the clapper is laying against the shell as they're flipped damn near vertically during "change ringing". Bells only have a very narrow range of travel on their "upstroke" between being struck or rather the bell striking the hammer and then catching it and carrying it, which kills the sound immediately. TUBULAR bells with gong strikers are what's being rung in those churches. I don't care what these videos show while implying its just a regular bell being "artistically" operated that's making those clean, clear and long notes. Like I said, they don't ring when the clapper is laying on the shell.

@Happyheart146 5 жыл бұрын

The Salle (the padded bit on the rope that you pull on for the hand stroke) is usually made from wool and wool is self cleaning. The other stroke is called backstroke and there are no hammers involved, only clappers. I've been ringing for 2 months now.

@kgroveringer03 2 жыл бұрын

Firstly, those "hand pads" are called salles, and they're washed with the rope every so often. The entirety of bellringing is done by hand, each bell being entirely operated by humans. The ringing sounds in TV, film and videos is done entirely on regular bells that you'll find in your local church or cathedral. There's 2 types of stroke, the handstroke and backstroke; there's no such thing as an "upstroke", as you call it. When any church or hand bell is rung, the clapper rests against the inside of the bell, which creates the ringing sound you hear. Because the bell is moving, the clapper doesn't rest on the inside for long, so it doesn't sound muted as a result. There is absolutely no way that a tubular bell could possibly be used in change ringing, because they aren't loud enough, nor does the sound contain the partials that church bells do, meaning they cannot produce the same sound whatsoever. Secondly, full-circle bellringing, as seen in this video, has been around since the early 1600s, while tubular bells were invented and used for the first time in 1886. Furthermore, tubular bells and church bells are both rung by hand, which completely disproves what you said about them "not being rung by hand". And, having been up into a church belfry many times over the last few months, having been right up close to the bells, putting on/removing ties and even seeing and hearing the bell being rung 5 foot from me, I can confirm there are no tubular bells up there. Just your typical church bells mounted on wheels. It's clear from what you've said that you know absolutely nothing about bellringing, or bells, for that matter. You're trying so, so hard to create a conspiracy theory about bellringing and spread rampant misinformation about the tradition. Please, do more in future to actually learn about the subject than just blindly conjecturing about it.
