[@JointedStudios]

i agree.

This is nice video

[@bellminsterboy]

excellent video Matthew, any chance of a video of the back eight/all ten from the belfry. What camera do you use, it's excellent!

[@MatthewThewsey]

Thanks. I'm waiting for the opportune moment to record the 10. The camera is a 60D, 10-18mm, and using the internal microphone!

[@bellminsterboy]

@@MatthewThewsey did you set the internal microphone manually? I've got a Nikon D7200 and even when I manually set the sensitivity it doesn't sound as good as this.

[@MatthewThewsey]

No, automatic gain control is left on. I must admit, the first time I tried recording bells with this method, I was very surprised that the internal microphone and AGC was able to cope.

Looks like the stay on the 9th had a hard time after all those prangs

[@MatthewThewsey]

That was me. Not used to ringing with the clapper on the wrong side 🙈

[@kentrailspotter5046]

How did you know the 9th was up wrong?

[@fredmills368]

Have the back 3 all got wooden shafted clappers?

[@MatthewThewsey]

No. Just the tenor.

[@MatthewThewsey]

Wooden clappers affect other things than just the ringing up ease. The bells aren't rung down often anyway

[@lukemeanwell3260]

are they tuned to c or c sharp

[@RingerJake]

C, but a high C. C+44 cents which is not far off C#.

[@lukemeanwell3260]

@@RingerJake Thanks the sound like Hereford. cathedral bells because. there tuned to C sharp

[@RingerJake]

They are similar. Similar weight and they're a ten. But Plymouth are definitely in C, not C#.

[@lukemeanwell3260]

the 9th went up wrong

[@MatthewThewsey]

Yep. I sort that out at the end of the video.
