    Absolutely superb! Excellent ringing on excellent bells (Taylor's seriously knew what they were doing 100+ years ago).

    What a magnificent sound peal. Taylors bells really took a quantum leap in sound when they adopted Simpson tuning.

    Fab - thanks for posting. Such a shame you cut off the glorious hum at the end of the lower. They go on for quite some time.

    Probably just my ringing! That and the 5th were a tad, they are still a bit of a challenge to ring well

    Yeah those bells do look oddstruck. You all rang well though, that raise was fantastic!

    @@RingerJake The tenor is not oddstruck at all. I set it up for true striking when I replaced the clapper. The others are slightly off however.
