Great to see the bell-ringers in action. I like the use of the old footage at the very start or the video - so much nicer than what replaced it about 10 years ago! For a suggestion, why not drop in some captions to interpret the key features seen in the skyline view from the top of the tower? You could always consider including a plug to our peregrine webcams or blog at the end. Just Google 'Derby Peregrines' for the urls.
@simonbellringer The 10 are lovely, the front six not so, but we had no choice; not enough bodies! The background is all 10, so they are included and sound excellent (though the second still doesn't sound quite right and never has done). The C# thing is quite interesting... must be a popular note back then!
When you were ringing the front 6 at about 2:48, the second showed up badly, it sounded awful!! They are lovely as a 10 judging by this though, and why is it the older tenors which are the lightest tenors to strike C#? There is Purton's 1720s tenor at 20cwt (though it was originally more like 25cwt in all fairness!!) Tring's 18cwt Tenor from 1695, and this Tenor from 1520 in C#!!
they need to ring rounds on the back 6 longer from when they start and progress rounds a little longer then going from rounds early in to change rinning and they should use the tenor the proper tenor bell 10
beautiful

These are a nice sounding 10!! Sound a lot heavier than 19cwt!!

Oldest ring of 10 bells in the world.

@8spliced Could have rung the back 6!! They would sound lovely!! AND we wouldn't have to listen to that dodgy 2nd...
@irkibby Yeah, I kinda said that already... :-P

+Amelia Violet they dont have to if they dont want to
It's a correction. The way your blurb reads is that Derby Cathedral has the oldest ring of bells in the world, which is not really true...
whats the wight of the tenor
19cwt in Db lightest Db tenor in existence.
@@fredmills368 your wrong Tring are actually
Your right I forgot tring.
@simonbellringer Could have. But didn't. So tough :-P
2:04 isn't that dangerous??!!
EDIT: cringey comment I came across just realised it was filming up not down :/
