- An extract of a successful quarter peal of Yorkshire Major being rung at Purton, Wiltshire. On Sunday 31st July 2022.
Purton, 8 Bells. Tenor: 20-0-14, in C#. dove.cccbr.org...
Quarter Peal: bb.ringingworl...
Great quarter peal!
That was fun to be there watching 😅
I love them, I don't know why!
😂😂 lol. Probably because they sound big and grand, when they’re only 20cwt
Hello@@JamesJoynson
Apparently the tenor used to weigh 25-26cwt, note was probably C, Gillet & Johnson then removed 5-6cwts to tune the bell.
I'm pretty sure the more you tune a bell, the deeper in pitch it gets...
@@RingerLuca651 no, the pitch goes higher
Luca’s right. When you retune a bell, as you take more metal off, the pitch goes down
@@JamesJoynson Any proof?
Watch my two videos of Elkstone. The older one was before the restoration, which included retuning, and my newer video which was afterwards.
I don’t like the appearance of the 5ths clapper.
