The Swan Bell Tower of Perth, Western Australia

A little video portrait of "The Bell Tower" in Perth, WA.
For more information look here:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swan_Bells
UPDATE:
To commemorate the end of World-War-I a century later, a large 6.5 tonne bell was installed in the Bell Tower in 2018, dedicated to the fallen of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) and therefore called the "Great ANZAC Bell".
This bell, which was only installed in 2018 and therefore does not appear in the video above from 2013, can be listened to and viewed in the videos with the following links: (In the third video, unfortunately, the sound recording is a bit too sharp, but there are many interesting photos of the making of the bell in it).

Wow! I've wanted to go to Perth for this very reason for years since first hearing these bells. You get to ring some of the smaller bells, the bells in the middle hung for full circle English change ringing. I'd also love to work somewhere like that, where my office is either a ringing room or carillon room or even a clock room. I collect bells, obviously a whole mish mash of smaller hand bells, sleigh bells percussion hand bell sticks, a temple style bell in a wooden stand with a beater for striking it, I have 5 different sets of wind chimes, but I would love to own some Woodstock wind chimes but not sure which sounds I'll go for yet.

It's a little Menuett from the Anna Magdalena Bach sheet music collection - Enjoy!

it feels great to be one of the youngest regular ringers here

[@engelbertschoormans]

Die Glocken von 5:30, sind das Stahlglocken?? Also mehr Glockiges kann ich mir nicht vorstellen. ;-) Die 10 Change-Ringingglocken am Ende sind also Kopien der Glocken von "St.-Martin-in-the-Fields"? Interessante Vorstellung. :-)

[@radnoll]

Nein. Bei 5:30 werden die neueren kleinen Whitechapel Glocken (sehr schwer-rippig) von Touristen in mittel-europäischer Art geläutet, weil diese mit der Change-Ringing-Technik überfordert wären. Die 12 Glocken von "St-Martin-in-the-Fields" sind die Originale (!) aus dem 18 Jahrhundert! Für London wurden 1988 zwölf neue und perfekt gestimmte Klangkörper gegossen. Danke für's Kompliment... :-)

radnoll Danke und Bitte!

@@radnoll 16 bells in C# these bells came from st martin in the feilds 12 bells in Db

[@radnoll]

@@user-vs9yx6yl8g Thanks for the comment. The question of Leander Schoormans did not refer to the 12 old bells of St. Martin in the Fields, but to the sound of the smaller bells of Whitechappel, which have been newly cast especially for the Bell Tower. In the Wikipedia link in the text accompanying the video, one can check the casting data of all bells.
