The best ringing I've heard on these. Good work!

If there is better striking elsewhere on youtube i have not heard it! 👌

If you check the online Dove details it's apparent the 7th is very flat compared to what it should be versus the tenor, & bells 1, 2 & 3 aren't great either

Cracking ringing and a nice light 12 I really think having a front 8 is a bit of over kill. 19cwt for the back 8 is hardly a heavy 8

We sometimes ring the front 8 at Kingston upon Thames, but it’s not as bad as a front 8 of a ten. I like Mixolydian eights. The bells at Kingston go very well.

Thanks. They're a great 12. I'm sure the light 8 are very nice too. I think there's a place for 6cwt 8s. 19cwt could be a bit heavy for some local bands, but I agree it should be suitable for most.

@@AtTheBellEnd just curious, why did the sound keep fluctuating on the video, sometimes it was clear then seemed to have a muffled effect.

There was a breeze coming in through the window, and I think the camera automatically cuts the audio from one of the microphones when it's windy. Apparently I can change the settings on the camera, but it's quite new to me so I'm still learning.

These are a really clear twelve. But in my opinion not as good as the vintage twelve’s.

Yes they are very clear and punishing - any striking errors really show up. I tend to prefer bright and clear rings of 12 like these to some of the "vintage" 12s.
