    Beautiful rich sound from those bells

    I rang here yesterday and I think you have done brilliantly to capture these on video. They are so unbalanced in the ringing room and very hard to hear but you can’t tell that at all here! Goes to show what superb ringing this is too!

    Thankyou, it's the first time I have heard all the 12 rang in a quality manner, and what a lovely peal they are
    They sound really amazing considering they are a mixed bag of new and old.
    I prefer listening to method ringing especially if done really well,ithink I like the fact that every change is different,but the Devon boys and girls really know how to strike and I always love them being raised
    Always feel a bit sorry for the tenor rope of a heavy bell when they have 4 big geezers on the end with serious pulling power .
    Yes they busted a rope once.

      I they. Sound great and this is the first time I have heard them rung well
      Would love to see the Birmingham band ring them to some Stedman Cinques or some Surprise Maximus.

    The bells here kind of sound like a mix of the 12 at buckfast abbey and the 8 at St Thomas salisbury

    Nice to finally have a video of these on RUclips, cheers Scott! One I still need to ring at, sometime. Cracking ringing, as one would expect of course 🙂

      I can't wait for you to go and ring there.
      I would love to hear then rang properly which the Devon ringers just did but would love to hear some Stedman Cinques with good striking
      Also Crewkene could do with some good ringing if your down that way.

    Heard quite a lot of negative comments about these, but from the video it's not at all clear why! A lovely sound with some character too. Cracking!

      As I ring in Dorset I’ve heard it’s more how they’re hung than the sound. Apparently they’re extremely tough for a modern job

    May I ask (excuse my cluelessness XD) but what are the first 2 words of the video? I always hear that phrase, but I can never make out what the person is actually saying. It sounds like "Look Back!!!" but if it isn't (or even if it is), what on Earth does it mean??

    • @martinhough7956
      @martinhough7956 Год назад +1

      I think you'll find it's "Look Out", which means that the conductor is happy with the pace, and is about to start calling the changes.

    Oh you got Yeovil oh I thought you only got Sherborne Abbey on there I think there next tower is Queen Camel and Wrington or Bath Abbey. Wrington there heavy thats a 10 bell tower 36cwt in Db similar to Queen Camel tenor there a Lovely 10 but not better than Evercreech 10 bells there much lighter that's 21cwt in Eb but I do love Wrington bells they look nice there a Lovely mixture of bells in Somerset but I don't think there not going to ring there might be Evercreech or Bath after Queen Camel. Yeovil are also now a good mixture of bells used to had 10 bells until 2013. the 10th bell is 17cwt in E and 11th is 24cwt in D
