Interesting video Mr. Salty you have introduced me to a whole new era of music. As an organist and 'cellist I was wondering if your wrists are tense when playing or is the secret of good bell ringing relaxed wrists? Please only reply when you have time.
Thanks Frazzle the reason I asked is when I saw you playing the organ your wrists looked a little tense. With bell ringing it is largely timing but with playing the organ, and the 'cello the secret is to completely relax the wrists. I look forward to your next playing the organ. I hope you don't think I am being critical I like to encourage all musicians, Thanks for your reply Frazzle -best wishes and compliments from Australia.@@Mr_SaltyChip
If my wrists seemed tight when playing the Organ then it wasn't intentional! However sometimes I find it means I can switch from chords quicker if playing at a faster speed.@@mspg2
Nice video Fraser, I like the bells you were ringing as well. I’m sorry I’m not texting you as much as you probably were expecting it was going to happen, I just stopped texting you as you probably didn’t like me doing it daily just asking how you were feeling and what you were up to but yeah, that’s stopped now. Nice video anyway though 🙂👍🏻
Some questions: What is it you say intermittently? Why do you change from pulling on the rope to pulling on the red padded area when ringing the bells? Don't your arms hurt? Great video and subject. Real artists bell ringing and not computers !!!
Good to see this comment of yours, very common and good questions! The intermittent things I was saying was "Bob". This is a call that is made when you want the bells to shuffle about in a desired way instead of how they would shuffle about had you not called a "Bob". Not very well explained but a lot of things can't be explained well without an already existing knowledge of it! The pulling on two different parts is because the bells swing in two directions. When we pull the furry bit (called the 'sally') the bell swings from Upside Down to Upside Down one way, then when we pull on the rope (called the 'tail end'), the bell swings in the opposite direction. This is why it is called 'full-circle ringing'. Our arms don't particularly hurt when ringing as it doesn't require hard pulls, it's very much the technique that counts! Indeed, we are people after all!
Yorkshire tail ends In Lancashire!!!!! What horror 😮
I mean they’re horrible anywhere …
@@allymccormack4708 Won't get a conclusive opinion till a ring at least a Quarter on one!

Not really, we don't grip particularly tightly to wrists aren't usually too much of a concern. Call me Frazzle please!
