    I remember ringing here, the bells sound really nice. I once remember when we were ringing down (before the extra treble was put in), we rang down all 13 bells, D Db C B sounded very off. Another one when we were ringing in a natural minor scale, using the middle 10 and 6b and sounded very interesting. When the extra treble got put in, I went up with the tower captain to make a video about it, I never posted it because it was cringy.
