Whilst a ringer in the English style, I actually think the bells sound glorious when rung in this manner. Thank you for posting the video - and for ringing.

[@x.p.1412]

Yes, I have to agree with you, it sounds very dynamic and much more natural than changeringing ...!

[@titmouse-distribution]

...

[@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo]

it is because the clapper is not dampening the bell like with change ringing. With change ringing the bell is upside down ... and after a strike the clapper keeps resting against the bell ... resulting in dampening the sound. With dutch ringing (continental) the clapper hangs freely. it only touches the bell at the strike. so the bell can vibrate freely.

[@x.p.1412]

@@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo I know that the damping of the sound is only good insofar as the next bell of the next bell in the change ringing comes out more clearly ... ... but the question arises, why change ringing ...? All chimes in England are ALL based on the major scale, there are almost no differences except for the pitches ...! There are the most varied chimes on the European mainland and each church tower has its own, unique chime ...! In the British chimes, one sounds like the other and that is the principle there ... ... it is a pity, because the sound quality of the bells is excellent, which you can clearly hear on this ringing chime ... !!!

[@Herr_Flick_of_ze_Gestapo]

the answer to that question is very short and simple: .... tradition.

This is lovely. Due to a lack of ringers, this is how Dundela bells in Belfast get rung

[@danielmeiland2470]

It's a pleasure for me to hear them ringing in continental style. They sound much better like when the clapper hits the Bell one time instead of laying on the bell and stops the metal itself from swinging. This ringing method would make sense when you have only three or four bells to ring or not enough ringers. In case of Grantham i would use d, f, g, a, c" and d" . a perfect sounding ring of six. Or these six with a half tone lower.

Quel magnifique élan de solidarité de la part des sonneurs de Grantham ! Encore merci cette sonnerie est très belle et réchauffe le cœur ! Je n'avais jamais entendu encore de cloches sonnées ainsi en Grande Bretagne.

[@NielsvanderGiessen]

This is very interesting! A very special thing, the biggest bell rings with a flying clapper and the others with falling clappers, something that happens in French too. I really enjoy this type of ringing of change ringing bells, but it should not turn to normal. The bells sound great!

[@thierrypauwels]

The first hit should not determine whether the clapper is flying or not. The clapper can be swung by the bell, or can get in resonance after the first hit. In both cases it will fly; if none of both happen it will fall. But normally the ringer can help the clapper to fly. I thought in change ringing it was the task of the ringer to make sure the clapper is flying.

[@TrainsAreReallyCool]

I have to say, the bells sound phenomenal rung like this! You really should do a full peal rung like this more.

How do you toll change ringing bells? And keep them from flipping over? Thanks for the upload!

[@DavidBraunton]

If you see the start of this video, when the bell is stationary, there is a piece of wood (the stay) on the opposite side of the headstock to the wheel. Just beneath the bell is a device that the stay props up against when the bell is turned full circle, so you can stop the bell mouth up. Here we're only swinging the bells about 180∅, if you look at my other videos you can see when they're turning full circle, and before they start are propped upside down on their stays.

Its a rarity we toll the bells, but felt fitting to mark the fire at Notre Dame. I guess because we're practising methods (the English style patterns) we need the bells fully up to enable changing the order they ring in; but it's all done by humans, no motors, except the clock chiming!

[@jeffwhite4227]

I always wondered if British bells could be chimed like this - which is typically what we do in the US. I noticed that some of them were struck on the "wrong" side - how do you avoid that when you're raising them for change ringing? (comparing the tenor to the one on its left)

[@DavidBraunton]

When you start to swing the bell you check it, so the clapper gradually swings ahead of the bell, then it goes up right.

[@jeffwhite4227]

@@DavidBraunton but how can you tell if it's right or not from the floor? I understand why you'd want it up right - just like in handbells when you want the clapper back before going for the strike. I just was curious how you could tell - and what is meant by "checking"? It's a bucket list thing to try a change ringing bell - but not many chances over on this side of the pond. :)

[@DavidBraunton]

@@jeffwhite4227 when you start ringing the bell up, if when checked, it strikes as you pull then it will go up right (the clapper is running ahead of the bell); if it strikes at the opposite point of the swing from the pull, then it is going up wrong.

[@DavidBraunton]

@@jeffwhite4227 I'll try and give an explanation of checking, with bigger bells, where the bell is getting on for 4-5' diameter, if effect you need to get the clapper strike the correct side of the bell before you start raising it too far (if you don't it will go up wrong and there's nothing you can do , except physically going up on the frame and moving the clapper over to the correct side). The technique I was taught is to begin the bell swinging, one small pull to get it rocking, two big pulls and the on the fourth you attempt to stop the bell swinging, this slows the bell's swing down while the clapper swing is not effected (this way it lifts closer to striking the bell), by repeating the checking until the bell strikes it's usually possible to get the clapper to strike the upper side of the bell (as it swings), rather than the bell crashing into the 'stationary' clapper. The clappers in the bigger bells at Grantham have eight a nylon or wooden shaft, meaning the weight of the clapper is mostly at the bottom, making it easier to check the bell and keep the clapper swinging and hence the bell goes up right. There are other clappers where the weight is spread along the length of the clapper, and here checking the bell doesn't have such an effect so these bells generally go up wrong, unless you have more people checking on the end of the rope. You have to bear in mind the biggest bell at Grantham is 32cwt, that's about 1625kg (never mind the headstock weight), I weigh about 73kg so the effect I can have checking the bell is limited. The further the bell is swinging the more kinetic energy it has, so checking can only be done at when the bell is only just starting to swing.

[@jeffwhite4227]

@@DavidBraunton I understand completely....thank you for taking the time to explain! :-) It's definitely a fascination, and I love bells! Our four tower bells at my church are struck via electric motor and hammers - the tower is too old and they can't swing anymore.
