Thank you for this - really helpful...never had training on ringing the bell in my church and rang it for 1st time this morning for Morning Prayer. Only got it ringing. a couple of times but I had the technique all wrong and was exhausted afterwards! Will have another go this evening using your technique.
Sadly, so many teachers do not show and demonstrate the physical mechanics and structure of the bell and its frame within the tower. At least the Student will have some idea as to what is going on on xfeet above their head.
My church has a old bell sitting in the steeple for decoration they don't ring it because there is no rope attached but since my church is older I can tell it's original
Exactly. Some ringing teachers use ringing a bell up as the key to putting both strokes together, since you are doing both by the end. The real trick is knowing when to start easing up on the strength of the pull. Practice makes perfect.
Can someone tell me why it is dangerous to enter a ringing chamber when the bell is in the ''up" position!? What makes it so dangerous and what could happen?
God Bless you. I really miss the sound of Church Bells. Especially in the old country white Churches of old. It is so hard to find any small Churches today that still operate a bell to welcome the lost to hear the Gospel. If I was rich I would pay the costs to add a bell to as many Churches as I could regardless of denomination. Children today need to hear it and to operate it. The appointed time to ring the bell is a great way to introduce babes in Christ to the Prophecies concerning the Appointed Times of the last days climaxing with the time of Jesus' Return.
SapphireFlame it’s a lot harder due to timing coils and catching the sally without breaking a piece of wood called the stay which will make the rope shoot up!
Can someone tell me why is it so dangerous when a bell is in the up position?? What can or could happen to someone who pulls the rope as a dare or is inexperienced??
It is dangerous in the up position because when the bell swings down the weight of the bell and the gravity pulling on the bell makes the bell 4x heavier and if you get hit by a bell in the up position moving it could and probably will kill you. If you are not experienced you would have no control over the rope and you could be dragged up to the ceiling. Or the rope will fly about in result someone could get hurt.
@@jayro5653 no, but there has been a time where a bell moved in the frame so much, that the bell did fall out of the frame and nearly fall into the ringing chamber below. But it is VERY RARE. Only once that I know of.
To explain that a little further, the Stay (which as stated above, holds the bell in place when it is Up) would be broken by the momentum of the bell. After the stay is broken there is noting to stop the bell swinging so it would just keep swinging on its wheel until it looses all its momentum and returns to the 'down' position.
@@dhtelevision Only if there is enough energy in it. An experienced ringer will be putting just enough energy into each pull so the bell will go up to the balance on each stroke. If you miss the sally, then it would either set, or bounce back and simply carry on ringing.
late reply I know, but its mostly for safety, if a non-ringer pulls the rope while the bell is up then it could hurt them, and also do damage to the bell and stay (piece of wood the bell rests on). if the bell is down it is 'safe', ie you cant hang yourself or damage anything
Thanks for the response. It makes good sense; I can see now the safety concern. I wish all bell ringers the maximum joy that their interest can bring them.
Every time I hear the bells ringing/clanging/tolling at all churches, sounds awesome!!!!!!!!
If I started ringing up a bell at a church, it would sound fantastic!
I don't know that guy, but he rings a bell!
Funny.
This man at a church and ringing up the bell! Awesome!
I always practice this cause sometimes it may be easy but also sometimes it's hard... Thanks for sharing Paul
Lovely sound
Every church rangs up the bells!
Thats the best technic presentation Ive seen.
Even for a simple pealing on a levered bell

Every time, all churches rang the bells that brought the whole cities to life!
Thank you.. God bless you.
I had a tower full of bells and I had to ring all of them. Thank you for teaching me how to ring up a bell.

Excellent tutorial !
It’s so much more fun to just hold on to to the top and let it lift you up in the air with every ring.

Great video and instructions.

Wow!!!

Good
So towards the end as you're getting to the balance point, are you pulling on both the sally and the back stroke?

did the old bells have crimson, black and gold sallys
Edward Cox
Do you mean gold claret and black?
I don't think it is a small bell, i checked on dove's guide to church bell ringers and it said this bell is the tenor, it is in A
If you looked at the weights on Doves Guide: you will see that it is only 9cwt which isn't really that big. Are you a ringer yourself?
Edward Walker Yes I am a ringer at Pulborough, Sussex.
Some tenors can be very light. I've rung at Toller Whelme, where the tenor is 2 cwt 2 qtr.
ringing a bell up
Well done sherlock
So what about the opposite? Is getting a bell down more or less a similar process in reverse?
SapphireFlame it’s a lot harder due to timing coils and catching the sally without breaking a piece of wood called the stay which will make the rope shoot up!
@@RingerJamie When lowering the bell you are taking energy out on each stroke so there is very little chance of breaking the stay.
What would happen if you accidentally let go of the rope?
Dam it would flick all around the ringing room or shoot up with anything attached to it so could end up in injury
By whom the bell tolls

@@RingerPeter is it possible the bell can fall through onto you?
@@jayro5653 no, but there has been a time where a bell moved in the frame so much, that the bell did fall out of the frame and nearly fall into the ringing chamber below. But it is VERY RARE. Only once that I know of.
@@RingerPeter thank you for your replies
@@jayro5653 no problem
I wonder what would happen if you let go
puppy67726 Gaming If you let go of the sally, the stay (witch holds the bell in the upside down position) will break
Ok

Why not leave them up when they are not being rung?

Well you won't have sufficient patience to be a bell ringer as there is a lot of explaining.
