York Minster Bells have a beautiful tone and I would like to ring there one day. Beautifully struck call changes can sound just as good as well struck method ringing.
Very nice ringing , well struck. I am addicted to listening to them. I think i could lay down i. The ringing room and listen to a whole peal of Stedman or some Maximus method and simply be transcended to a higher levsl of mindfulness.
Thanks Steve, I thought you might enjoy listening in and I am glad you did! Hopefully, the description gives you enough of a flavour of the fascinating history of bells in the tower (sadly, space constraints prevented me from adding any more, and there was much I had to omit!...). York Minster are certainly well-served on TH-cam, lots of easily available listening material for you 🙂
@@simonbellringerthanks for the history of the previous bells. I do think they are the finest sounding ring and of course the tower itself is part of the instrument
@@simonbellringer I remember it well, a d got to see Brian too. We also a some good ale in the Gluepot. I hadn't rung for a while , the last decent ring was Washington Cathedral, then I moved out of Sydney. The past 3 Monday evenings I have going to Andrews Cathedral which a 29.5 cwt Taylor 12 with a flat 6th I want to ring the standard 8 which I rang before but would love to ring a peal of it. Your Lliliputters guild is wonderful and you are spoilt for good bells in Yorkshire.
They really don't! They're a heavy 12 in the same key, and that's about it. Exeter are a mixture of older and newer bells, are not as clear inside, and have a heavier (but, in my opinion, less powerful) tenor. York were all cast as a set, when Taylors were at their best. I like both rings - they are just not that comparable, and are two very different peals of bells!....
