Yorkshire Maximus from York Minster 

I don't know, I havent rung the tenor. It will of course take a bit of effort as it is 3 tons, but considering it's weight it is reckoned to be quite an easy bell

They are actually very easy to ring (there is no tower movement neither are there any gripe or grains). They are very heavy though and very unforgivening, the treble alone starts at just over 8cwt. To ring bells like this you really have to pull the handstrokes hard, and a long pull on the backstroke. That being said, the tenor does go well, a good tug on the backstroke and the handstroke just rises. But it is 3 tons so you do know about it!

@leedshunk Shall we say, some of the "scenery" in Leeds ringing chambers is not too bad.

@leedshunk There are plenty of towers in Leeds to get started in!

other people do, there was someone else on it for the Bristol S Max I recorded.

I could hear hem fine through all the resonance. I could hear my bell was in the wrong place most of the time, too!

@irkibby ah i see what your'e saying , perhaps i ought to explore some leeds ringing chambers !!!!

The squeaking must be the very high pitched trebles

OMG i've suddenly decided i want to ring bells , up till now , ive been on the organ bench in leeds !!!!

@irkibby i see what your'e saying !! perhaps i ought to explore some belfrys !!!!!!!

Does Mr Potter ever let anyone else ring the tenor? From all the videos it seems he's the only one allowed!

Do you know how you film the bell tower of all these churches and cathedrals you go to do you get extremely special permission.

@irkibby ah i see what your'e saying !! perhaps i ought to explore some belfrys !!!!!!!

Wonderful wonderful :D

Prachtige akkoestiek!!! *****

I love a good near miss on 12!

No, They are always left up.

@irkibby aye , but a great medieval foundation has greater appeal than a victorian one x
