[@alessandrodianori1351]

Hosanna is a really beautiful bell ... wowww!!! 💖

[@sebastianrogalski6633]

Beautiful sound od Bell Hosanna ❤❤❤

[@zacharychiu8749]

Beautiful bells and nice aerial shots. Happy birthday!!

[@RingerJake]

They are gorgeous bells - IMHO Taylor’s best ring of twelve! And thank you... it’s weird to be finally able to drive!

[@zacharychiu8749]

Lucky!!! We have to be 18 before we can drive here in Australia

[@RingerJake]

Ah that's a shame! I'm hoping to get my license by November... that way I can make it to 100 towers pretty soon - I'm currently on 96.

Gorgeous tenor

[@RingerJake]

Indeed - Taylor's of 1935, what else do you expect? ;P

17:24 a fly walking at the brown wood on the bottom of the screen

[@RingerJake]

Must have been a deaf fly then...

Hosanna sounds like Emmanuel of Notre dame de paris in Paris, France

[@clairelewis5200]

And riverside church in New York city

[@jeffwhite4227]

I love the sound of European bells - just not the same here in the USA. I was wondering why ringing down is so important? I've seen it commented about safety - is it because it's a way to slow the momentum on the clapper? Like at the end of the video, the ringer was still pulling the rope slightly, rocking the bell. It's a bucket list thing to learn how to ring a bell of this type...doubt it'll ever happen. :)

[@j_y06]

There are a handful of change ringing bells in the US….including ones like the big one in the video too

[@jeffwhite4227]

@@j_y06 ah this is true, but none in my location. There is a carillon but I don’t think we have a change ring here in town.

[@BigBobTheNewBellRinger]

When the bell is in the mouth down position it's completely safe. If it's in the up position and the bell is knocked off of the stay somehow, then an out of control bell is dangerous with the rope flying around everywhere potentially catching limbs etc (though I'm a noob so someone may correct me!)

[@danielmilitello4795]

Does anyone know what chimes Buckfast Abbey does every quarter or half hour?

[@JesusTilapia]

There is no chiming the quarter hours or hour strike at abbey.

[@RingerJake]

Nothing, there's no chimes at all apart from the Consecration on Sundays when Hosanna is sounded twice via an electromagnetic hammer operated from the choir of the abbey via a button. It's a shocker when you're stood outside having a quiet conversation as it's so loud!

Cool!!!!

[@tuatara77]

Good drone footage at the begining

[@RingerJake]

Credit for that goes to Peter Westlake-Webb :^)

[@tuatara77]

What's the heaviest bell you have rung?

[@RingerJake]

Heaviest change ringing bell I’ve rung is the Exeter tenor (72cwt) and the heaviest swinging bell I’ve rung is Hosanna (147cwt).

[@clairelewis5200]

6:10 perfect time with the tenor and the bell on speaker

[@RingerJake]

Oui, effectivement. Les cloches sont vraiment très belles!

[@clochershautsalpins3214]

Ringer Jake on a un do3 un re3 et un mi3 puis j'aimerai bien apprendre a sonner comme tu le fais mais a Westminster abbey

[@RingerJake]

Ouf. Westminster est un clocher que pour les pros du change ringing! J’ai jamais sonner la bas et je pense que je sonnerais jamais. Si tu veux apprendre, il faut commencer à une église paroissiale et pas si connue que Westminster Abbey!

6:00 this bell perfect ringing

[@Yeentenology]

Hosanna (bourdon) sounds like the Second in Riverside Church NYC (F0)

[@RingerJake]

It does yes. They're both the same note and are hung almost identically.

[@zvonazgnadbiskupije1094]

Only difference is that Hosanna have rope drive, and Second bell in Riverside Church(New York) is electrified

[@Yeentenology]

also @@zvonazgnadbiskupije1094, the Second of Riverside was cast by Gillett & Johnston of Croydon, and Hosanna was cast by John Taylor of Loughborough

[@zvonazgnadbiskupije1094]

I’m listening to the tenor being raised with my headphones on full blast, TECHNOLOGY

[@jds_randomness2569]

what are the sirens at 6:02 for, is a digital bell system?

[@RingerJake]

Yes, it's an elextronic speaker system to allow recorded bell tracks to be played, for things like the Angelus and compline services. It doesn't sound as good as the real bells though!

[@adamanimatereal]

​@@RingerJakeYes but why the speaker bell is ringing while the tenor is ringing up?

[@michaelelia8066]

LOOK GOOD

Can you please kindly refrain from screaming on my videos? Thank you..........

i see the tenor clapper is counterweighted, unusual!

[@RingerJake]

Hosanna is in F.

@@RingerJake Ok Thanks.

[@CBF1]

@@jesusblanco5077 The overtone is B.

[@chadbeverly4926]

What are the other ropes for ?

[@RingerJake]

The other ropes are used to ring the other bells. Buckfast has a ring of twelve bells and also two extra semi tone bells, meaning that numerous other combinations can be rung. It's quite useful!

[@chadbeverly4926]

@@RingerJake are all the bells set in the key to match the bourdon ?
