That heavy bell must have good bearings so the little bit of energy he's able to impart on each pull isn't lost, and slowly accumulates until the bell swings all the way around. And it's amazing how he keeps the rope so straight even when pulling so hard over such a long distance. I imagine if he didn't keep so perfectly straight, the rope would wiggle and fly all over the place.
Very good, I rung up the tenor at St. Patrick's Cathedral Dublin myself on Remembrance Day, took 6 minutes to raise it... and an extra 4 to stand it ;-;
What it is to be young! Last time I tried something like that, I rang the tenor at St Paul's up single handed, and was pretty knackered by the time i'd got it up! Well done Luke!
Dang that bell seemed heavy. Not usually a tenor bell would take this long to be rung up but apparently this one. Plus the sally seems so long and purple like it!
that is a mathom effort, it would have killed me all 82 cwt. Pity the bells dont sound good In the tower, way to big a belfry and sound waves bouncing all over the place. They reckon the best place to hear them is Birkenhead.
one downside of the mechanics of bellringing is that no matter how strong you are the force you apply is limited by your own weight.... unless you have bicycle clips bolted to the floor ;)
George Pietersen there's a sock on the clapper, for want of a better name for it, to stop the clapper coming into contact with the insides of the tenor, which makes a lovely booming A minor chord type sound, so I don't know why it wasn't sounding on this occasion.
@@jenlfpotter3870 bigger bells go up wrong like the tenor of Maidstone the tenor of Liverpool is too big it's like around 86cwt so that's why tied the clappet
Probably for silent practice. They took out the clapper so the bell won’t make any noise. Except for the fact that sounds like someone banging hammers on wood up there. But still makes the bell rope and sally functional. Don’t know exactly why they took out the clapper. Prob for practice
To@Rolls Royce Jason: Clapper is tied for practise. Largest bell for change ringing on planet! Wow! I want to ring that one bell. I don't know about ring her up per se, but I suppose that I would be willing to try myself what Luke had just did (as soon as I can even GET my sweet bum -- and rest of me attached as well, over there to Liverpool! I am currently about 8'000+ km away!
4 Ton is enough for a ringer. Also why do the bells always have their clapper held instead of being rung at this cathedral on practice or ringing up, down?
That's the clapper tie. The stay is the thing that holds the bell upside down. If they took that off, the bell would keep rotating and pull him up to the ceiling.
There must be easier ways of developing a "six-pack". Pity that we could not hear it strike - albeit the "wrong way". I doubt if anyone could raise it the "right" way anyway. Well done!
@@kyletheringer that's sacrilege. ......a beautiful set of bells like that silenced! Btw do you know anyone in that tower that might be able to help me with individual bell sound samples? I have the 12 bells of St wollas newport recorded different positions with 5 samples per bell, I programmed steadman triples on my sequencer and the result was a recording nearly impossible to tell it was synthesised. ......apart from the perfect striking. Even added a "swing" to give it natural variance
@@kyletheringer well the offer is there regardless if you want those samples, ....play tunes on a sampler......."do you wanna build a bell-fry"....hehe!!

you are right

Isn't Ireland a catholic country? I thought change ringing is exclusive for anglican church. Am I wrong?
WOW! Really impressed. Slow and steady. Well done.
What it is to be young! Last time I tried something like that, I rang the tenor at St Paul's up single handed, and was pretty knackered by the time i'd got it up! Well done Luke!
Well done Luke, that was a lot of effort!
Liverpool cathedral 12 bells 82cwt in Ab hung in a reinforced concrete frame made in 1951 by Morrison and sons and layout 13 radial
Well done Luke, I know what hard work it can be getting much lighter bells up let alone the heaviest bell in the world.
Dang that bell seemed heavy. Not usually a tenor bell would take this long to be rung up but apparently this one. Plus the sally seems so long and purple like it!
82 CWT 4 tons and 100KG
that is a mathom effort, it would have killed me all 82 cwt. Pity the bells dont sound good In the tower, way to big a belfry and sound waves bouncing all over the place. They reckon the best place to hear them is Birkenhead.
Wow that's the first bell that I heard that sounded like a big gun
The bell had a clapper stay on
Lol I thought that was the worst sounding cracked bell i ever heard. Instead of "clunk" it said 'POW" Just kidding hehehehe
Why?? The clapper would have had to be turned over anyway
That's actually the sound of the rope hitting the box

Not quite, you can pull more than your weight and accelerate yourself upwards.
Whats with the wine bottle on the 11ths box? :P
What wine bottle?
That's good! Such a heavy bell
Wow!
They are on platforms, presumably to minimise the possibility of feet getting tangled in the ropw.
I dont really hear any bell ringing !

That can't be the tenor, surely. That's the heaviest bell in the world and it would take 3 people to raise it, with a strapper.
It is the tenor
It is probably the heaviest full circle ‘tenor’ in the world

You can"t here the bell
4 Ton is enough for a ringer. Also why do the bells always have their clapper held instead of being rung at this cathedral on practice or ringing up, down?
How can you rise that tenor on your own?
It is possible but towers usually have more then 1 person on tenors if they weigh more then 30 - 40 CWT
Kok pulled kok gk the sound of his bells I've been waiting for the kok or how the bell is broken what
0:39!!!
Is the clapper don't want to move to back ring the bell?
It had a clapper tie on which stops the clapper swinging and it doesn’t ring
I was hoping they would take the stay off for you
+Shining Armor That would kill him!
The stay on the clapper? Really?
That's the clapper tie. The stay is the thing that holds the bell upside down. If they took that off, the bell would keep rotating and pull him up to the ceiling.
Thanks. Someone else referred to the tie as the stay.
+Ringer Jason It's also called a clapper stay as it makes the clapper stay where it is

+Henry Taysom you could probably ring it up right, but it would take about five people to get it to chime!
+Patrick Meyer It's not about sheer strength but ****** stamina. The bell goes up only a very few degrees at each stroke
I could get it up right
Thats a interesting bell...sounds like someone hammering in a cave...
It had a clapper tie on so there was no sound and the sound was the rope hitting the box
