Could someone please explain to me (please forgive my ignorance) why the man in video says the bourdon is the largest bell in the world at 20 tonnes? - St Peter's bell in Cologne cathedral is 24 tonnes, and the recently cast largest bell of the Orthodox cathedral in Bucharest, Romania, is even heavier...? 🤷♂️🤷♂️
I am a English Handbell base ringer. I absolutely enjoyed the tour.
Can you all do a separate video of the 5 swinging bells ringing in a peal? But please have the camera in the carillon booth, thank you!

It is the largest tuned bell! There are larger bells but they’re not tuned to be a specific note.
