That tenor is a fair chunk of bronze, have you rung it singled handed or only with a strapped. I would worry I wouldn't get it off thd balance. Heck you set it first go, always a challenge on a big bell as they are always light set so you worry a out breaking a stay. I have no idea how anybody can turn it in, I would drum it behind . I have seen peole ring York tenor to Bristol Max and it requires effort unless your technic is really good but even then ringing a peal would be next level .
@Steven_Rowe Michael Wilby has turned it in, which there is a video on TH-cam on Jack Gunnings channel. The bell felt quite smooth, although it was a bit weird to get used to. But it was a great experience! I would love to ring it without the strapper next time!!
@RingerThomas Thomas I'm certain you will,don't know if ringing heavy bells are appealing to you, to some they are, I like ringing tenors to Stedman as you can zone 0ur and listen which I like To be honest if I'm ringing inside on a 10 or 12 I like the 6 or the 8th, ie same bell, it is a bit like the goldilocks bell, just right. The first person to turn in Liverpool tenor to Surprise Max single handed for a peal was Peter Border, a rather large bl9ke with lots of stamina. My old man knew him as hexwas in the College youths and apparently when it came round Border had to ask someone to set the bell, he was a bit done in. I reckon a few pints got drunk after that peal. The heaviest bell I have rung is Bow
@Steven_Rowe Heavy bells are something I enjoy doing, although I don't push it. The heaviest I have rung is Windsor Castle tenor to a quarter, which was quite an effort to ring because of how difficult and oddstruck the bell was. However, yes, in the future, I would love to start ringing big bells to things. I found a particular video extremely helpful. th-cam.com/video/ik4KuWgM_g8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=vbiEjxhEgkMoFIhl
@@RingerThomas I went to Windsor Castle with my dad in the early 60s, he worked for Whitechapel and was doing some work on them, I often went with him during school holidays. I loved and got to see so much.
