This was the first video of Bellringing I ever watched and I have now been ringing for 2 and a half years! Thank you for publishing the video.

this big bell have the most beautiful sound

2:07 Such perfect timing with Hosi and the tenor.

WOW, I always wondered what these bells were like, listened to them on the radio years ago, been a ringer for over 40 years now!

Without this video then I wouldn't be ringing now! Thank you

The heart of Western Civilisation yet lives. Whether you are Christian or not, this is just a beautiful art form . . .

how majestically it swings. as if in slo-mo. beautiful. rich sound. i love the way the english chime their bells.

Beyond the horizon... of the place we lived when we were young... ♫

That thing is a beast. Love it.

the moment when the smaller bells stop....goosebumps!

Whoever rang Hosanna at that time must have had an enormous amount of strength... For a bell of this size, it was swung pretty high!

Very cool sounds and amazing bells :-)

um what are you talking about

I thought the video was slowed down but the smaller bells are ringing in real time, Hosanna made it seem slower

The Abbey bells are very rarely rung. Hosanna even more rarely! We believe this is the only time Hosanna has been rung with the 12.

i so love it its fantastic

Beautiful sound. Sounds like a wedding. We don't ring like this in the Netherlands

There was a time when the Abbey bells seemed to be always available. Then there was a change of Abbot. The regular practice was no longer possible and had to be changed. Then we started having cancellations - often at short notice. Things just got worse. On our last visit (branch meeting) we were told only 12 people in the tower at a time! It was pre-arranged as we booked a meeting room too. The installation of the speaker system is a bit of a giveaway. Appearances can be deceptive....

It all started some years ago with a new Abbot and everything went bad from then on. The new Abbot disappeared but things never returned to what they were.

I love this BELL its so a NICE noise :)

We never used to have this problem. Hopefully it will be resolved over the next 12 months.

Rope's not long enough. It's a lot higher than most slow turners get.

Divino.

those little bells honor Hosanna

Congrats with your 1 million views!

+Mj Z The video or the 1 million views? The video is very real. The 1million views - that's youtube counting, I'll take their word for it.

Our source for this bit of information was Fr Paulinus. He was at the Abbey when the bells went in. 3rd Oct 2003 was the first time all 12 and Hosanna had been rung together. How did you get permission to swing Hosanna?

Thrilling!

I think they are all wrought iron except the 11th, which is SG iron. We paint our clappers to help protect them from the weather.

i like it beacause i like bells

The band used 12 changeringing bells and Hosanna. Hosanna is very well counter-weighted so is quite easy to ring but very slow.

When I rang here on 2nd April 2005 we rang all 12 with Hosanna. Can't remember if we had permission or not! It was the Saturday in the Easter Octave so thought it appropriate. Ho Ho Ho

was hosanna and the 12 bells made by the Taylor co bell foundry.

i love this song how mutch years it olde hosanna

Cool bells very cool

Just wow!!!

i love that Big Bell on a big Wheel

In the past there have been problems trying to book them even 18 months in advance. More recently two or three bands have managed to get them with only about six months notice. There is something very strange about Buckfast.

I like the big bell's sound

Stanno suonando tutte le campane in questo video?

As far as I know there is no local band so they don't get rung much. They have been very difficult to get for a number of years - hopefully things are changing slowly.

LOL I'm sure there are some Dorset ringers who would be very happy if it was. Might get rung a bit more too.

very nice sound we dont have this kind of ringing in holland

i love this song i vish i was there

I've heard tales of it getting very close to the balance before someone shortened the rope. It would be easy enough to fit a stay and slider but a bit annoying having to replace it all the time

@ProfMoose I am surprised to hear that Hosannal is so rarely rung. I was at Buckfast Abbey on Sunday August 6, 1995, and was very surprised to hear a very large bell ringing just for Sunday mass. It was definitely Hosanna that I heard that day. It was ringing solo. It was the feast of transfiguration, but you would not expect something special to be rung for such a small feast. From wat I noted at that time, at noon a bell an octave higher was rung (must have been the 9th of the peal), ...

@simonbellringer It was for a recording. Just experimenting with sound. We rang all 14 at one point. That was 'interesting'. Hosanna is rarely rung. Death of an Abbot or Pope, Easterday I think. We got permission to ring it for the devon ringers carol service last year.

So cool

Echt toller klang!!!

Very nice.

i think its one of the better sounding bells thats out there.

:-) I'd love to get at Great Paul with a vid cam.

Hosanna Bell

@pianistdu74 I have tried google translate- "There are 8 bells around, Hossana is ground 2 and the other from C 4 C 3 by: do if the ground do re mi fa, hosanna is manue or electric, the other hand, the famous Change Ringing Sorry for the translation if it displays a few words in French!" - Almost wish I hadn't bothered ;-) Hosanna is manual. I will try to get a proper translation of your text soon.

Wonderful.... 5*****

Rung be real people - usually only one:-) It's the 7th (or is it the 8th?) heaviest bell in the UK. I guess it's around the 3rd or 4th heaviest swinging bell. I think York has the heaviest hand swung bourdon.

(22.Jul.2020) too late to say it, but congrats on getting 1 million views!

those bells must be huge!

Aerozine - for your info the bourdon at the "scouse Anglican Cathedral" isn't swung. The tenor is the heaviest change ringing bell in the world.

Bella campanona!!

Sorry for late reply. No. Hossanna is over 7 tons and lives in a monastery - can't imagine the community would allow him to be used for that song :-)

The bells are in a church tower. I'll find a link to tell you about training and post it here.

Not sure you have the correct assumption that 12 plus Hosanah was the first occasion in 2003. Left Devon in 1997 and had rung regularly on Sunday am with Tony Davies, Richard Newman, Frank Mack, etc. One Saturday afternoon - of the regular monthly meeting - John Haywood, etc had the 'full set' going round. Fr Paulinus Angold was one of the two 'locals' to join the band. RPH

+Richard Heath Sorry for later reply. It was Fr Paulinus who told us he'd never heard the 12 with Hosanna until then. Of course he was very old and may have been a little forgetful/confused but he was still capable of stimulating conversation. Ringing at the Abbey was stopped again this month for 'Health & Safety' - A fraid rope or something this time I been told.

GP is swung daily at 1pm? I've heard it a few times. There are some pics of it on the web but it's a bit crowded by its own frame:-( I think Gt Tom is tolled for the death of the monarch. Never rung at Winchester :-(

The 15 bells at my church were all Cast by Whitechapel in London in 1913...

Apparently the Abbott didn't want the bells ringing on Easter Sunday this year, so don't hold your breath! We did get them for our tour a couple of years ago but had to book them well in advance!

Me encanta en sonido de esta campana lo más genial es que cerca de mi casa se oye a lo lejos una con la misma sonoridad que coincidencia

@WrongAndHome There is a long story here. Short version - they never did! This was for a CD. The band were very unhappy with the standard of ringing and wanted to come back and re-record but both the production company and the Abbey said No. We thought it would be a shambles and it was.

very very well!:

@ProfMoose ... and for the other services a small bell was rung (a minor third higher than the treble of the peal). After the complines the eight largest bells of the peal were chimed.

This is Buckfast Abbey in Devon, Southwest England

Excelent

Thanks.

I have no idea! I'll have a look and post it here if I can find it.

Was this a Saturday practice? If so I might have been there.

This bourdon bell at Buckfast Abbey is not designed to be rung full circle. Due to the fact it has a counter balanced clapper, it can only be rung 180 degrees.

Shame the bells didn't settle as it sounds like there is an under rated twelve at Buckfast-when people mention the best twelves, I've never heard Buckfast mentioned but they do sound fantastic on this recording even through the striking isn't too hot.

Buckfast Abbey in Devon. Southwest of England.

Do you have a download of this sound recording? Love it!

que bonito viva cristo y maria

Yes. I think you can see it if you look closely.
