That is fantastic, it is so nice to see English change ringing spread across the world and also to realise that whilst its genisis may have been a call to worship it also can be used as a secular form of hobby and music. Bell ringers have been often seen as having a hump back like in the hunch back of Notre Dame. If only morepeople of a,l cultures could see what a great hobby it is and is good for the body and GREAT for the mind Also thatwas very good striking
St. Andrews Cathedral in Honolulu has a set of 8 change ringing bells. I just did a little video of them after church today (11/9/08). It is posted here. It's a very nice set of redundant bells from England.
@MrUNIXman The rope is usually slightly longer. It doesnt effect the sound much because you have the whole tower to vibrate off. I love it when the tower starts to shake and wobble though.
One million US dollars will cover that for your parish church, assuming you already have a suitable tower ready to go for the bells and structural work.
Very nice! There many be no other towers like this in the western US, but there are three not far from Seattle: one in Victoria (Anglican cathedral) and two in Vancouver (Holy Rosary Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, Mission - both Catholic).
Big Ben isn't a church bell. The most famous Church bell would probably be either Emmanuel (the tenor bell of Liverpool Cathedral), Great Paul (in St. Paul's Cathedral - Britain's largest church bell) or Great Peter (In York Minster - Britain's largest bell still rung by hand)
the striking was good but you need to improve a little you need to ring rounds not as long coz it is not boring to here york minster has a ring of 12 and they ring more change ring than rounds so its probly best to ring more change rinning then rounds
You're not a bell ringer so stop dishing out orders as though you know what you're doing because you don't. I'd like to see you do all this first go with no mistakes. Go and bug other people.
The difference is that this touch was the first blows ever on the ring of bells, and also the first time the band had ever rung together. Under these circumstances, allowing plenty of time for the rounds to settle is essential, and the band did a fantastic job.
You would need to contact the ringers there to find out for sure.
Name of the first organ song?
PLEASE!!
Look at the credits at the end of the video, the song is listed there.
I would love to ring a bell one time I love the sound of bells
7:36 Santa clause move anyone?
We need some down here in California! Sound so beautiful and very interesting, hopefully someday I can have the opportunity to ring one.

Molto belle!
I love this bells. Such a bright sound, english bells are much heavier and have a darker booming tone.
Not Necessarily, bells can vary from a 1cwt tenor to an 82cwt tenor

By the way.... practice is on Friday evenings between 8:30 & 9:00pm this summer.
I can hear them on E Shelby Street (across the canal)

I think anyone can go up there and ring the bell upon request and reservation, am I right?
3:45 Best Chime
@1BODGER95 they were cast by Eijsbouts but the frame, fittings and the hanging was done by Taylors Eayre & Smith of Loughborough England
What magnificent bells they sound lovely 🔔
And I can tell they're in the major key of B
B-C#/Db-D#/Eb-E-F#/Gb-G#/Ab-A#/Bb-B
This video is my childwood...
Those VIPs have better bell controll than some "experienced" ringers I have met! (sarc)
These bells sound like the bells of old St Martins in Cornmarket Worcester.
you can play the westminster and whittington chimes on these bells.

WOW!
Great Video! The bells are fantastic! What's the name of the song played on the organ at the beginning of the video please? Much Thanks from the UK.
It's 'Wir danken dir gott' BWV 29, by J.s.Bach (There's an attribution in the final credits)
Hey wow
Is videoing not allowed in RC at Gerberding Hall!? is this ONLY video on Seattle ring (only ring in western USA)?
No. Trinity Church in New York has a nice peal of bells and so does Washington National Cathedral.
Videoing is not prohibited. This is indeed the only full-circle ring in the USA West of Texas.
Very nice! There many be no other towers like this in the western US, but there are three not far from Seattle: one in Victoria (Anglican cathedral) and two in Vancouver (Holy Rosary Cathedral and Westminster Abbey, Mission - both Catholic).
Lovely, Mates!!
Aww there cute bells
apparently, you have big bells, but not good English skills
Sam Morrow the bells in the U.K. are bigger and there are more of them. And the true British skill of bell ringing still lies within the U.K.
Samuy Wardell There are 6001 Towers in the United Kingdom & Ireland
The bells are TINY in America in England we have bigger church bells than that university in small churches!
Samuy Wardell and the most famous one is the big ben
Sam Sananikone Big Ben is a famous bell but isn’t a traditional English style church bell.
Big Ben isn't a church bell. The most famous Church bell would probably be either Emmanuel (the tenor bell of Liverpool Cathedral), Great Paul (in St. Paul's Cathedral - Britain's largest church bell) or Great Peter (In York Minster - Britain's largest bell still rung by hand)
Awww it's like baby bells.
Yeah it's cutest thing I've ever seen
