In The Belfry at York Minster 

super marvellous...those bells they look so happy to be there doing their cuteness....

What beautiful bells.

Had to pop in again for another listen, just superb!

Fabulous bells and very impressive. Looks nicely maintained up there, and I can well believe it was amazing with ear protection off. Very nice!!

This method sounds best on these bells.

I spotted the spare clapper for the tenor/bourdon bell! Also, this is my FAVORITE set of change ringing bells! Thank you so much for sharing this!

I love the music in Stedman Caters and the bells the world's best.The tenor is the epitome of what Taylor's do best

i like how the wheels are painted too, havent really seen that before

indeed. it makes a magnificent sound!

Bah! Catherbury Cathedral are far superior! Nah! Only kidding. These are definitely the finest bells in the world.I'd missed this video, well done Paul for getting it! Brings back many happy memories of wandering up there during practice. I suggest scrapping the two trebles, just having the back ten. G9 on 59cwt 1924 JT 10, Ho Ho Ho! That spare clapper is pretty heavy, I had the great pleasure of shifting it for some reason, can't remember why...

I love the sound of York Minster bells, they are perfect bells and the accoustic enviorment also seems perfect. Im amazed at the quality of your recording. i I recorded them back in 2000 I not only got accoustic distortion but the sound waves also vibrated the camera tape. No doubt you use flash memory. Also noticed the wooden shaft on the clapper of the tenor, wasnt there in 2000 Our tenor at St Andrews Cathedral in Sydney also Taylors has a wooden shaft. Once again thanks its Brilliant.

Fantastic video!

Unusually at York Minster they have painted the wheels and stays as well, they are of the normal wood but just painted nice colours...

It certainly is. Well done.

As change ringers we do not pay much attention to the notes of each bell. Changeringing uses a number for each bell as written notation. The key note of the tenor (heaviest bell) is enough information really as it is quite rare to find a ring of bells that are not in the major scale. As for your wish to hear Great Peter, visit my channel page and click on the main video you find there. You have to 3 minutes for Great Peter but it sounds amazing!

Wonderfull!

I think they were indeed Hastings type stays!

I was wondering about the quarter arrangements before the Queen Mum chime was installed. So it was a ting tang quarters. Not very grand when you consider it is York Minster! The rods that run vertically through the corner of the ringing chamber to these clock hammers are still there.

Only just noticed, are they Hastings stays?

I went up too! It was fantastic. Like you, I took of the earmuffs for a moment to. The bells are magnificent. Did they take you up to see Great Peter?

Fujifilm finepix z20fd it handles loud noises very well

@Read1526 Should have heard it before the video started! It was an extremely humid night and the Minster Ringers were not quite at their best, apparently. Still some quality ringing though.

I have heard them at St Pauls. They sound a bit naff! I do like the quarter chimes at York. But i didnt get a recording of them. I did however get 3 minutes of Great Peter being swung in the rain.

WOW! *****

@irkibby can you watch my 3 bell ringing videos and tell me if they need improving or anything? It would be much appreciated

is it just me or is the change out sequence?

@hawchubby39 How do you mean?

what's the go of the bells like?

There are 14 change ringing bells and a 37 bell carillon

The tenor gets quite late about 20 seconds before the end if you listen closely!

I think it's Stedman, with a bob at 1.

What was the bell that wasn't being used at 2:06?

In front of the tenor! lol!

No sliders?

THE BACK 10
