- Plain hunt on 11 bells (with tenor cover ) including video from belfry, The sound in the belfry is distorted due to the fact that my video camera didn't have manual audio level adjustment on it
If there is a peal of bells in heaven its going to be YORK for sure.

I’ve been watching this video since I was 3 or 4 since then I’ve never stopped watching it because this video has been my childhood.
Do you ring?
No but I would love to.
I’m now learning.
@@SantaRudolph-ef6lv that was me saying I’m now learning just an iPad account.
This is very good video quality for the year 2000.
It wasn't bad, when I went into the belfry the sound isn't good
Remember also this was tape and pre digital .
I think the sound waves actually affected the camera and the recording head on the tape.
You could feel the sound through your body especially from the tenor
best concert of bells I've ever heard
I have to agree with you. I love listening to ringing at York whenever I can. The bells have such a clean, mellow sound.
best tenor in the world. end of story. magical.
my favourate ring of bells in the world! just lisen to that tenor! boom!
Possibly the best and most harmonic tenor I have ever heard!
Superb bells, fantastic ringing, excellent video. And 0 dislikes - the way it should be!!
when i pop into York , i LOVE to hear the bells !!!!!
Thanks for you comments, what really surprises me is that so many videos have been done since and not many are good in the ringing room. There is some fantastic videos in the belfry, type yorkminster tenor in the search bar. A FANTASTIC clip of the tenor covering to Stedman Cinques. I think tht the combo of the tower and the bells is almost a freak of nature. The tenor simply bathes the other bells ringing stedman BEAUTIFUL.
Really beautifull
Mr. Potter's a legend! I agree with you about the long pull at backstroke! They easily flop at hand, not that I did a lot of that.
Only heard them from the outside, never rung on them - a lovely recording!
I learnt plain hunt on 5 the first time I tried it at Great Amwell. But I struggled learning plain hunt on 7 when I started ringing at Ware. But that was because I wasn't used to more bells which expanded and changed the ringing circle. I learnt plain hunt on 9 the first time at All Saints in Hertford at the 10 bell practise.That was a bit hard for me since I am only 14 and the tower is very tall so the Sally was a bit hard to catch! But never mind I'll grow taller for it! Lol!
To true, and whilst I am not God's gift to ringing I know the sound of it.
I am amazed at how many people cant get simple rounds right, and if you can't do that it is pointess doing anything else.
Love you work on Yorkminster tenor, when I need a fix I alway listen that clip of Stedman Cinques, simply brilliant.
They are the best peal of bells in the world and I do miss ringing them an awful lot. The other advantage is that they maybe 3 tons but they certainly don't go it. You get used to them fairly quickly. As long as you give a good tug on the handstoke (so to lift the backstroke) your fine. Just remember the old Potter philosophy, "Do as I say, now what you think!", and "Ring by rhythm".
Taylors 1925 59-1-23 in B flat.
HO HO HO!
The ringer of the tenor is Graham Blackburn
It is glorious!!
This is the best ring in the world with westminster abbey second
I have no idea who rang the tenor, the only person I know is David Potter on the 11th. I agree with you, it was rung like a true pro, and made to look easy. My own view is that if there were to pe a peal of bells in heaven then I think it would be York Minister with the Minster ringers. Just sensational ringing and hte sound is DEVINE.

When were the bells and clappers all painted red because at the time it was blue.
lunaticonthegrass111 glorious bells i like the tenor hum. the carillon is in this tower. great peter is also good but heavy he will need teamwork to get him ringing
Nikos Podas They ring Great Peter single handed
Will you buggar off harry mcandrew no one cares
@@Steven_Rowe steven these bells are hung on 2 levels the 3rd on the bottom the rest at the top
Ok. I admit it!
These are Brilliant!
This is the best clip to give an idea of the sound inside. Other clips on here don't do them justice. This doesn't go to say that this gives them justice but it's not far off!
Having heard "Bells on Sunday" @ 0543hrs today, which was Stedman Cinques from St Paul's Cathedral, I'd probably have to agree with you. They sounded fantastic and I would love to have been able to stand outside the cathedral and listen!
"If there is a peal of bells in heaven it's going to be St Mary, Redcliffe!" but these are pretty good too!!
Hello Globalman, the tenor at Yorkminster wieghts 3020KGs and is rung by one person, The very reason this is possible is becasue unlike European ringing the bells are rung from an inverted or upright position, this is also the reason why the bells can be rang in changing sequences. At YorkMinster there are 12 bells and the possible unique combinations on 12 is 12 Factorial or 479001600, this would take over 37 years to ring all changes without ever stopping. English Change ringing rocks.
This is how its done!
Does David potter still ring at York minster.
@bagpiper2005 Yes, it is in B-flat. When you say interesting, what exactly do you mean? Most ringers would say that these are very good. Is it just because they're very big?
Merveilleux
JFM
That tenor Roars!
When was the carillon installed?
Brilliant. What a noble effort. Hand ringing does sound different to mechanised. Of course these bells are smaller compared to Zurich or Cologne. How many would it take to ring one 600+kg bell I wonder?
the question is, would they be as good if they were cast by Whitechapel?
Where do you ring now?
@KDowner94 Few?
Impressive.
Yes I did ring, it was only rounds but still I got to ring, Yes I do realise it was cinques and not maximus but thought plain hunt on 11 sounded funny to write. My father Ernie Rowe had never rung at York Minster so it was great to be able to say hey dad guess where I rung. But even though I have loyality to Whitechapel I do think these are the best sounding peal anywhere.
Regards
Steve
My opinion has changed for the better having rung on them last week! : ) Ho Ho Bloody Ho! ; )
Is it?!
Wow! You are very lucky to have seen this. Did you ring?
I believe that you have to be invited nowadays?
BTW, this is plain hunt Cinques.
Correction...Cologne's largest bell is 24,000kg!

@KDowner94 Ah, young Kieron Downer-the more I read your posts, the more I laugh!
I also have loyalty to Whitechapel, as my hometower are Mears and Stainbank, a very good peal of bells, alothough I am quite baised.
These are a good peal of bells, I admit but I have rung on some "Stonking" Whitechapel bells in my time. Many in North Yorkshire.
Thanks for the reply,
Rob.
Dont let bell foundries disappear
Sadly one has
Whitechapel which was the oldest manufacturing company in the UK and established in 1570 closed its doors 2years ago
@@Steven_Rowe Yes I know ,Only Taylor is Casting Bells Now
What about Gillet and Johnston.
Sorry that should "Do as I say, not what you think"....
Really?!!
Hope that's sarcasm
obviously not
Nope, York are the best!
that's bull
