Maitland and Hale have best straightened tones which sounds majestic

[@DylanSmith_15]

I didn't know Bamford use to have steel bells.

[@MauveStingerStings]

If only if the steel bells were cast by Bochumer Verien or Bohler.

[@RingerJack]

A good explanation. I don't know why one of the bells at Swanmore double hits?

[@fredmills368]

Two bells same note

[@RingerJack]

@@fredmills368 OK. I see

[@nickpodas5636]

the former steel bells of st mary mosley now as new ring of 10

[@toastedbutter4316]

i didn't like Bicknor something about it was just very eerie for me

[@campanaro_99]

Are steel bells cast because they are cheaper? I can't stand any of these, just pay more for better bronze bells.

[@adamm2693]

that was the idea !

[@ExploringCampanologist]

Where is Milton Church ?

[@nwbowden]

A suburb of Weston super Mare.

[@ExploringCampanologist]

Is it St Peters, BS22 8HG ?

[@nwbowden]

@@ExploringCampanologist No, it is the former St Jude's - now St Andrew's Greek Orthodox I believe.

[@ExploringCampanologist]

Cool 😎👍

[@adamm2693]

i feel sorry for poor Staveley.. what must the poor parish have thought of them?!🤢

[@chillinbro5423]

bassalegs sound nice ish as well as maitland

[@macstyle2012]

Thought that was a shop dummy at 14:03, until she moved at the end.

[@DylanSmith_15]

Some steel bells aren't that bad but others are awful. Nice vid though

[@1260stedders]

I personally think that the steel bells at Moseley are pretty awful but they are pretty well known and liked so they do still stand out.

[@DylanSmith_15]

@@1260stedders moseley bells were replaced by a new ten. The steel bells were scrapped I think.

[@RingerLuca651]

@@DylanSmith_15 Nope, they are all resting in somebody's back garden (of which I can't remember his name)

[@Ringer_Fran]

That would be Andy Mead I believe

[@RingerLuca651]

@@Ringer_Fran That rings a bell

[@MaxTheRinger]

Why does Belmont sound like the Russian kremlin

[@davros_adl8155]

some of these are just painful to hear

[@splittieful]

Bella are out of tune

[@36ajames]

I love the sound of bells but these sound dreadful!! Sound out of tune.

[@duaneadams5210]
