  • The vicar's old bells are worn out, so it's off to Whitechapel to get some new ones. The foundry boys and girls get smelting, and it's up the belfry with new bells and clappers.

      @@AndyFromBeaverton The only way to put a nice shiny finish on the bells, is to add or remove metal. This will affect the sound of the bell. Much more important to sound nice than look nice. They did sell nicely polished hand bells in the shop, but they were of a different scale.

    It’s amazing to think of how many bells were made by Britain and sent to other countries. Like the Chicago and New York Carillon bells were made by Britain (18.5 to 20 Ton bell) and even the iconic “Big Ben” back in 1859.

  • @robertgift
    @robertgift Před 5 lety +43

    I would love to buy a bell and try tuning it. Tuning is a very complicated process. Example: In a C-2 carillon bell, they tune the bell to have have the partials (harmonics) be C-1 Hum tone , C-2 Strike note, Eb-2 Tierce, G-2 Quint, C-3 Octave. Raising or lowering one partial to bring it into precise tune also affects other partials and in differing amounts.
    53 replicas of the Liberty Bell were cast in France (I forget which foundry) and one donated to each state.
    Unlike the Liberty Bell, the replicas were tuned. (I recall F-natural.) Oureplica was in a metal frame and unable to be rung.
    For Colorado's Bicentennial, 1986, I convinced the governor's office to release it. Theyen had a ceremony and the governor pulled the rope to swing it and it finally started to ring!
    On infrequent occasions that I was driving by, it was usually swinging from someone having earlier moved it.
    Someone reported it doing 360s. The 2,000 lbell could kill someone doing that, so they immobilized it as before.

      its so sad they closed such a long time it was around, I see an american company want s to make a bell themed cafe out of the old premises I hope we do a good job, and dont just cheapen it or wreckavate things like so many renovators like to do, and I hope they dont do to the cathedral of our lady in paris, notredame, I hope icons like these are built the way they were its no need to change something that is part and parcil of their ethos of culture.

      One horsepower = one horse needed to lift a large elephant over the head of a small child in one minute.
      This is what happens when you avoid SI/metric units.

    The Liberty Bell was last rang in 1976 but it sounded terrible and the crack grew even more so they will never ring it again, it would be nice if we had another one made that is not cracked.

      I would like to see a digital scan of the liberty bell made all the damage from its history removed, a mold made and an exact copy of the original bell's metal used to cast the new bell so that the new bell will be as close as possible the original in looks and sound when it is rung.

      There are a lot of CZcams videos on Campaniles and Carillons. My favorite one is Carillon (A tower filled with 100 tons of bells.) This is about the University of Chicago Carillon, the 2nd largest in the world. There is a carillon in my city and another in a University town 30 miles north. There are 600 or more around the world, most of them being in Belgium and The Netherlands.

    For those still barely interested, Whitechapel has closed down now but John Taylor & Co in Loughborough, Leicestershire are still going. Plus there are a few other companies that re-hang old bells and work in conjuction with foundries.
    Also Electric winches are still a luxury. Most are by hand. Or you can get compressed air powered ones too :)
