Bellringing at St Andrew, Rugby (NE tower)
Музыка
Some Spliced Surprise Major on this big, old-fashioned Mears & Stainbank eight. St Andrew's church is unique in having two separate towers, both with ringing bells - the west tower contains a lovely ring of five (9-2-3 in A flat) and the newer, north-east tower, contains a grand ring of eight (tenor around 24.5 cwt in D). Opinion is quite divided on these bells, but personally I thoroughly enjoyed them and the visit to Rugby was a high point in the weekend. They are easy and rewarding to ring and have an impressive, industrial sound to them.

Nice to hear some decent quality ringing on KZread!
Decent old school bells, they remind me of St Phillips in Sydney. I reckon given modern harmonic tuning they would be sensational

Yes, individually they're not great at all but the overall effect is fantastic. I thought I'd be the only one who liked these but they proved one of the most popular rings. They haven't recorded as well as they sound too.
They should sound better no clashing like stone does clashing the bells
