Would be better if you could actually hear them. They are far too quiet inside. The tenor has been boxed in.

@@sdgwebb I do agree, they lack punch because of the acoustics.

Thanks for posting this, they've come out very very nicely on your camera. Not heard all twelve before! They sound quite pleasant.

I've switched finally to using my phone, which is far higher quality. Unfortunately Microsoft discontinued Movie Maker and I've not yet found anything else I can easily edit videos with!

Yeah, that was really irritating when they did that. DaVinci Resolve is a free editor but it does take some getting used to - well worth it if you like a slight challenge to start off with. I use it for my university projects.

Wouldn't say these were similar to Leicester Cathedral. More of a pre war vintage tone! These are tuned to nearly bang on D. So sound a little different from the vintage stuff.

Is that John Martin ringing the tenor there because he's the highest secretary of the guide of devonshire ringers

I think it might well be John Martin! I haven't seen John for a good 30 years so I can't be sure.

@@markanthony7184 wow 30 years wow. the old 12 tenor 29cwt in Db were clungy quite awful and tricky to ring and rope's were rough as well I guess. St James are also clungy but looks like the back 3 have been welded tenor 17cwt in E after being cracked they used to be a nice ring of 8 they used to be. oldest 2 bells in the tower are the sixth and tenor all cast 1626+ and one of the old bells in the minster was dating back to about late 1620+ but however if they couldn't afford to raise money for Taunton Minsters bran new ring of 13 they might have been ringing at Chewton Mendip by now for practice nights down there that would have been there new local tower 🤣 because there a Lovely 24cwt in Eb 8 and also Ditcheat there heavy

There is nothing random about it. Notice how every bell sounds in sequence. These ringers do not pull the rope randomly, they are part of mathematical sequences where each sequence is not repeated. You may wonder how many sequences are possible on 12 bells, well it is the factorial of 12 so it's a staggering 479001600 permutations I appreciate it might sound random and you may even wonder why people do it. I wonder why people play golf or tennis. It is simply because they do.
