I spent some time in a southern German town called Langenau, where large bells were always ringing. I now live in Oregon, where the largest bell is an a" (same note as the middle one in this video) at Mount Angel Abbey. Before it was installed last year, the largest bell in Oregon was probably cis'.
The only place in North America where the bell lover can really enjoy himself is in the Prvince of Québec and, especially, in the City of Montréal. There are some 8'000 church bronze bells in French Canada. True European tradition!
Yes, the three sets of three strikes and a peal is the standard Angelus in America. Some churches use one bell and others follow the strikes with a multi-bell peal. My parish has only one manual bell (on a rope)of about 450 kg. (As') which does not have a tolling hammer, so we peal it every day at noon for about one minute.
I agree, but American bellfoundries have been using balanced yokes for over 150 years, and like our antiquated automotive lighting regulations, the industry does not like to change that quickly. The only installations of straight yokes that I know of are installed directly by European companies.
Is one (or three) long peals of a single bell common for the Angelus in German churches? In America and other countries, the Angelus consists of three sets of three strikes, followed by a peal.
Normally the Angelus rings at 6, 12, and 18:00, but in many American churches, the morning bell rings at 8:00 or not at all. Our Sunday Mass peal lasts about four minutes, but other churches will ring their bell for only a few seconds. In the western United States, many churches don't have bells at all, and the more "liberal" parishes often consider bells as a traditionalist anachronism. Many here have an irrational hatred of anything Christian, although it is not as bad as in parts of Europe.
Do you speak English? Next time you visit this Church to do some more Bell Videos there, do you think that you can get a Video with all the Bells going (Plenum)?
Wunderschön diese Glocken. Würde auch mal Live dabei sein wenn sie läuten. 5 Sterne von mir.
Geil dieses Geläut habe ich auf CD das ist der hammer.

No, it was just a presentation for us!

This is generally possible, but this particular video contains a sequence of the Cluniac ringing pattern.

Und nicht zu vergessen: es ist eine Euphonglocke, die sind meistens nicht so schwer...
Is this an Angelus sequence?
I hope that you can understand English. Can you do a video of this church with all bells going?
Ich finde die a° etwas kurzatmig. hier muss ich sagen klingt die euphonglocke besser als die Bronzeglocke
Jepp!
Warum schwingt die h° so niedrig?
Das weiß ich nicht. Vermutlich, weil der Klöppel auch schon bei niedrigem Winkel ausreichend anschlägt.
