I'm a church bellringer in the UK, and it's really interesting to see a different take on ringing bells. I ring with our traditional "full circle" style, where the bells are hung on wheels and the rope is tied to the bell "headstock" and passed through the rim of the wheel down through to the floor below. When we pull the rope, we're actually moving the wheel and the bell, not the clapper inside, so the bell hits against the clapper not the reverse as shown in the video :) This is a very crude description, but the physics of ringing full circle are a little more complicated.

I'm a bellringer from the UK (where we ring the bells completely differently) and my Grandfather is a bellringer, as is my Grandma, my Dad, my Mum, my Godmother and my Sister. To be fair it just causes more arguments!

4 generations of miners in my family (i would be the 5th, but i won't be), most of the time when they talk(ed) about work they start(ed) to nitpick each others' technique, how the other has/had it easy, etc. And my grandpa was once kicked out of my great-grandfather's house because gramps wouldn't want to work in the same tunnel as my great-grandfather. He was 16. Needless to say the following month was awkward at the entrance of the shaft for both of them.

This instrument is a Zvon, a traditional Russian set of bells. Cool. The English swinging bells referred to by another comment are a peal or ring. In continental Europe, particularly in Belgium, the Netherlands and Northern France, they have carillons. More bells, recognizable music, more precise tuning.

Could really have extended this to include an uninterrupted sequence of the bells playing itself. As it stands, it's just a half documentary without that. For some the sound that the bells make is as important as the human story of who makes the bells ring.
@Dylan-le9zi3 жыл бұрын
It’s truly a curse, if you string them together right with a few guide lines and distance properly you just need to pull one string to ring a endless amount of bells at once or staggered out to right one after another or even get fancy with different elasticity and make it into a repetitive chime playing of each string.
