Bell Ringing at the University Church of St Mary the Great, Cambridge

A ring on this fantastic Taylor 12 is to die for! They are gorgeous! I just had to turn the 24cwt tenor over to listen to that Taylor boom!

[@1260stedders]

There’s no tenor that stands out more than that. I’d love to ring it once I can.

[@adriansunman51]

Very nice sounding bells

[@RingerJamie]

What editor did you use here? Also do you know any good free non watermark editors for pc?

[@RingerJake]

Windows Movie Maker, but Microsoft did away with that donkeys years ago so there’s no use trying to get it. As far as I know, there’s no good free editors about. Don’t try downloading one because it could contain viruses. A lot of so called “free” stuff does.

i have rung at all 5 towers in cambridge

[@RingerJake]

+Luke Meanwell Cool! I really dislike the bells of St Bene't's though.

[@uktrnspt2219]

@@RingerJake Why’s that?

[@RingerJake]

They're weird to ring - apparently the frame, headstocks and wheels are warped (not sure how true that is though) and drop and I'm not a huge fan of the sound. Lovely church though, but the bells aren't my cup of tea.

@@RingerJake have you tried the 4 bell chime at S Botolph they are very old but sound quite good

[@1260stedders]

@@toastedbutter4316 Yes he has, there’s an old video of him ringing them, I think it was around 2015

[@Steven_Rowe]

Jake you love the. Biguns dont you. Lert see you turn in Liverpool Cathedral tenor to 5040 of Cambridge Max.

[@RingerJake]

I do yes - mainly because I am not too far advanced methodise. But one day, that would be a goal. Not for the foreseeable future though as I've only rung one peal on a tiddler 5cwt (1988 Whitechapel, by the way) ring of six!

[@zacharychiu8749]

Are these easy to ring?

[@RingerJake]

Yes they are. Being a modern Taylor installation, they pretty much have to be.

[@zacharychiu8749]

Ringer Jake that is really great! These sound much better than the tower I ring at.

[@RingerJake]

I'd say they are the best modern Taylor twelve out there. They aren't as good as some Vintage Taylor Rings but otherwise they are great.

[@johnrobinson6809]

Ringer Jake it is so wonderful to see so many young people interested and partaking in something of music! Awesome! PEACE!

[@RingerJamie]

Im sorry these are literally Westminster abbeys twin but just 2 more bells 🔔 lol 😂

[@RingerJamie]

John Giorgetta no I meant the bells sound identical almost not the Westminster chimes sorry 😂😂

[@RingerJamie]

I’ve just realised they don’t really sound alike 😂
