Bells 6, 8, and 10 are seen here being raised prior to the commencement of ringing at Hereford Cathedral. Note the wooden shafted clapper on the tenor.
I'm shocked that anyone would be up there as bells are being rung up especially without hearing protection and serious hearing protection at that! The man who isn't even putting his hands over his ears has probably done some serious damage to his hearing.... Madness! I learned to ring ringing these bells and it took two heavy ringers to pull the tenor up. One thing that used to worry me was when you sat out whilst others were ringing and felt the whole tower shake side to side!
@@connorbaisa1653 I was multiple times in more bell chambers when some bells rang and I didn't wore ear protection. Nothing happened to me😎. Still now I'm fine
Sounded like the star wars theme at the start. Yes Lord Vader!
why have you called yourself stuckintraffic?getabike just totally random and yes it does sound like it at the start.
@@fredmills368 I'm a major advocate for cycling in the cities to alleviate traffic. Cities having cathedrals and those having bells etc etc.
Yep, very noticeable from the ringing chamber. The back three go clunkety, clunkety, clunk clunk!
@anonmonen it's not at all noticeable outside, but last time I rang at the Cath i don't remember it at all so perhaps it's now been adjusted.
The clapper bounces when ringing the tenor
@BristolVRchap very nice sounding.

Nowadays it takes 1 ringer to get it up right
Imagine the kolner dom with a 25 ton bell
Wow! I like change ringing :^)
i want to ring at the cathedral :D
@irkibby Whatever that stands for.
how did you raise the tenor properly?? i can never do it by myself
That MUST be dangerous to be up there without hearing protection!
Larsky1010 imagine without hearing protection you will be deaf

Quite a bit of bounce at the end from bell 10
Yep, but wouldnt that break it?
@@fredmills368 If you're talking about the stay, no. The only way to break a stay is if the bell hits the slider at full speed.
Who put them clappers in then?
Slight Double Dinging isn't there?
