Raising the 50cwt tenor at Redcliffe Bristol + flipping the clapper.
Рет қаралды 249,776
3 жыл бұрынThis was filmed on a ringing tour with the Romsey Abbey bell ringers back in 2016, where we went to Bristol and visited St Mary's Redcliffe with the tenor weighing 50-2-21 and is the 6th heaviest ringable tenor in the UK. Also you can see the clapper being flipped due to being the wrong side of the bell. (corrected)

Il suono del Si2 - Do#3 - Re#3 mi ricorda il Si2 - Do#3 - Re#3 di Zeminiana di Massanzago dalla somiglianza dei loro suoni. Bellissime campane

6th heaviest - after Liverpool, Exeter, St Paul's, York and Wells. Great video - have enjoyed many visits to ring at Romsey Abbey over the years and must return to Redcliffe soon, as they're simply awesome. great video :)

Good video. Surprised the clapper is turned when it is still ringing. With my Taylor tenor bell at Long Ashton which weighs 30.3.23cwt also cast in 1903 same year as Redcliffe essentially a bigger version of our tenor. We ring it up and then flip the clapper once the bell has stood with the hoop and stick.

I believe the tenor is light set. Which means it would be harder to stand it with the clapper on the wrong side of the bell.

It's very common when ringing a heavy bell up the clapper ends up on the wrong side.
@RingerPeter 3 жыл бұрын
It also depends on how much force the ringers put in to checking the bell. But yes, bigger bells do generally go up wrong.

Depends on how early you get the bell striking and the clapper moving evenly

The tenor looks crazy but why do tenor bell ring up and go up wrong my little brother likes tenor bells but tenors are big bells And thank you for the comments 😂
@RingerPeter Жыл бұрын
Bigger bells go up wrong as they are heavy and quite difficult to chime/check. So people tend to just get the bell up and then flip the clapper. This saves time and energy
