Hosanna swings far higher than normal in an attempt to join the others as a full circle ringing bell. To hear Hosanna and the others outside - • Buckfast Abbey - with ...
Very beautiful! The big bell already has a symbolic name: Hosanna. Then other bells enter, as if they announce the rush of Mary and her other 5 friends to witness the resurrection of Christ.
I don't mean to be a pain, but this bell's clapper is designed for swing chiming. The counter balance slows down the swing time, yet it increases the impact on the bell's soundbow; and the higher up the bell goes, the heavier the clapper's impact.You can also see the clapper resting on the soundbow somewhat, muting the bell in the up position. It is well known that when leaf springs on drop hammers loose their rigidity, the hammer resting on the bell during chiming causes cracks up the soundbow. I would love to ring up something that big, but I wouldn't want to damage such a wonderful bell.
This is not normal operating procedure with this bell. With reference to the counter-balance increasing the impact I suspect there are a number of European bell-hangers who would argue that point - that is with 'flying' clappers not 'falling' clappers. The clapper resting on the soundbow is somewhat irrelevant considering the action of the clapper in a normal change-ringing bell. The cracking of bells by clock hammers with failed springs is not common - it does happen but considering the number of bells that have survived very many years with failed return springs I would suggest that is only part of the cause when a bell becomes cracked. That doesn't mean such a situation should be ignored - far from it! I get quite annoyed by clock hammers resting on bells.
ProfMoose incidentally if it were to have the equipment to go full circle. i.e stays and slider equipment. how big would this kit need to be. and am i right in thinking that Liverpool Anglican has the biggest full circle bell? how does hosanna compare to this?
Putting a stay on a big slow swinger like Hosanna would be interesting... To adapt Hosanna would require a very short stay or possibly some arrangement with a pendulum slider... Not sure I'd want to test it. If you say Liverpool tenor is the largest full-circle ringing bell people get all stroppy and say there are larger in Italy. I'll say it is the largest bell designed and hung for change-ringing in the English tradition. I bet someone still bleats on Italy... Hosanna is about 3.5 tons heavier than Emmanuel (Liverpool Tenor). I expect some pedant will want to correct that to umpteen decimal places too.
ProfMoose thanks for the answer profmoose. yeah the Italians from what i can gather go beyond full circle and their bells might drag the odd peroni drinker up the tower. have you got any footage of being amongst the bells when they're down? i.e for human comparison beneath hosanna? many thanks in advance if you do.
if Hosanna had a stay, slide(?), more people ringing it, and a change ringing clapper, the world will have it's VERY FIRST change ringing bourdon bell.
amazing bell the hossana bell have amazing sound and sound like a 10ton bell like the german bells but its amazing how can this big bell swing like a full circle bell like in my country spain but its amazing this bell grettings from spain profmoose
Next you will want a stay and a slider for it. Lol. Really nice sounding bell as is Great Peter. Pity Great Paul doesnt ring any more. Seen it twice? Once in 1963 when I was 10. it was manually rang back then. In 2000 got to see and video it ringing. I seem to have the only video on youttue of it ringing.
Well, this bell which is tenor here is actually smallest in Riverside church, and this bell which is bourdon here is actually second bell of Riverside Church. Actually, quite cool in this case. And also, swinging angle is much smaller in Riverside Church
Hi! I'm italian and bells are my passion, so what's the weight of hosanna?she looks very big, and where is this curchbell and is it possibile to go up?
@@ProfMoose wow, all i know is if you overpull a smaller bell set for change ringing you break the stay and may find yourself upside down and in bell room yourself
There doesn't seem to be any reason why the bell would be damaged; just likely the rope would come out of the ringing room as was stated, the bell might take a few minutes to settle down (!) but it doesn't seem as if anything would be damaged too badly, it would just go through a full rotation and eventually stop. The rope would just need to be moved back into place and down the hole, and ringing could continue.
@AaronB 24034 No. Change ringing bells have stays to allow them to rest in the 'up' position. If the bell goes over the ringer lets go of the rope. Stays are designed to break if subject to undue force.
10 years between videos and two very different cameras... Hosanna has developed a brown stripe around his waist which does not always show depending on the light. Apart from that he's really grey with a hint of green.
He has an electric hammer which I guess the monks use for the Consecration during the Mass but I don't really know how they use him. He gets swung on special occasions when we are asked to ring the others.
wow and wouldn't swinging a bell that large be putting strain on the baring or the mouth of the bell with the impact of the smacker as i am not sure what there called :) and i have also subscribed
Hopefully everything was designed with good safety margins. Hosanna was designed to be swung but not that high. The correct name for the smacker is a clapper. :-)
Profmoose: next time you do vid in buckfast Abbey can you put the camera in the middle not the corner? (Like that other vid you made called "Buckfast Abbey with solo by hossana?) Thanks in advance
Hosanna is a very naughty bell! He was never supposed to go that high. We were very lucky something bad didn't happen. I blame the ringers - you know who you are!! :-) We've altered things to discourage anymore crazy upside down ringing.
is that like not dangerous ? what if the bell suddenly caused the frame + tower to weeken couldnt they get sacked for the behavior or suffer dedly problems like wat of the bell berings gave way and broke off during the big swings
The frame and fittings are very much over engineered to give a good safety margin and the frame is designed in such a way the bell cannot fall through it.
It's scary because it's big but from an engineering view it's fairly simple to manage. Jet engines have to cope with far higher stresses for a lot longer - they also cost a lot more... ;-)
I have a nasty feeling that it is that creep Harry McAndrew again. The one behind Amelia Violet, Oliviah Maccolng, Olivia Alwen, Lilly Louise, Anna Powell and countless others.
Helped ring that bloody thing up. Wow that killed me LOL
You had a lot of muscle aches from ringing that heavy bell high, huh.
Very impressive!!! Hosanna goes as high as some church bells in South Tyrol put on straight yokes. :D
Watching this is addictive.
Very beautiful! The big bell already has a symbolic name: Hosanna. Then other bells enter, as if they announce the rush of Mary and her other 5 friends to witness the resurrection of Christ.
It’s like hosanna is telling a story to her children bells
2020 today anyone else watching this video today
Stop fussing about 2020
Ringer Fred what does fussing mean don’t reply again why argue
me
Med Space leave Fred alone he’s done nothing to you
Well, Med Space, asking Fred to define "fussing" and then telling him "don't reply again" isn't a particularly intelligent thing to say. Just sayin'.
Dose anyone love it
I love the bold sound of that bourdon bell.
I remember when I saw this 4 years ago... And CZcams reccomended me this again 😂

from what i can see the clapper is bouncing off the bow?
This reminds me a lot of great paul(another Bourdon bell)
I’m also imagining hosanna upside down like the other bells
if Hosanna had a stay, slide(?), more people ringing it, and a change ringing clapper, the world will have it's VERY FIRST change ringing bourdon bell.
Actually tong has a bourdon hung for change ringing 46cwt in C
Amazing
Whoever rung the bell is muscle ripped
Because Hosanna is one of the biggest and heavy bells in the UK.
WOW!!!!!
This giant monster needs so many power to ring. Seriously how many people ring this bell together?
Usually just one.
Ok but the guy who rings this bell maybe is very strong.
Well your not wrong.
Maybe bro just so strong that he was hired to be a bellringer.
@@djmario2381I'd imagine once it gets going most of the work is done by the bell's own weight.

The big bell is so high!Like going so high!
amazing bell the hossana bell have amazing sound and sound like a 10ton bell like the german bells but its amazing how can this big bell swing like a full circle bell like in my country spain but its amazing this bell grettings from spain profmoose
I like how the clapper actually bumps the bell forward a bit..
It's a big heavy old clapper!
And its a red one too.
@@ProfMoose what about all the bells ringing
3:03 6 bells : Lol hosaana ii is like noisy *seriosly laughs and making fun of him*
Next you will want a stay and a slider for it. Lol.
Really nice sounding bell as is Great Peter.
Pity Great Paul doesnt ring any more.

I remember watching that video years back. Britain should really try to get Great Paul back to ringing status...
The tenor and bourdon remind me of Riverside Church in nyc.
Well, this bell which is tenor here is actually smallest in Riverside church, and this bell which is bourdon here is actually second bell of Riverside Church. Actually, quite cool in this case. And also, swinging angle is much smaller in Riverside Church
@@zvonazgnadbiskupije1094 the second biggest bell in the riverside church sounds like hosanna like literally
stay and slider and you got yourself a world record breaker
Hi! I'm italian and bells are my passion, so what's the weight of hosanna?she looks very big, and where is this curchbell and is it possibile to go up?
Hosanna weighs 7.5 tons and is located at buckfast abbey
Great, encourage everyone around you to initiate a ringing action that
can help drive away the virus's corona. Don't wait but hurry! Good luck!
So was this a "because we can moment" or was it a challenge/dare?
It was more of an accident. We had no idea how high Hosanna was until we got up there - it was a bit of a shock.
@@ProfMoose wait so you were going ring him like normal, but then he went up that high?
@@JesusTilapia Pretty much. Guessed he was a bit higher than normal, went upstairs and he was upside down.! Very scary.
@@ProfMoose wow, all i know is if you overpull a smaller bell set for change ringing you break the stay and may find yourself upside down and in bell room yourself
@@ProfMoose wait, *UPSIDE DOWN* wow, i did not know they can stop in the up position and stay that way without a stay
holy cow that bell looks like it was gonna flip
Lol it had metal stay
Michaelthehoneyvlog It doesn’t have a metal stay or any stay at all
Michaelthehoneyvlog no it didn’t hosanna doesn’t have a stay
That’s the way the bell rings
Hosanna III - Bourdon bell goes over on itself.
Fortunately no. We've stopped Hosanna doing that crazy upside down ringing - far too scary! :-)
ProfMoose Thank goodness. I'd hate for such a beautiful sounding bell to be damaged performing such a stunt.
If the bell did turn full circle, what would happen next? Would it continue to turn that way?
There is no stay so i dont really know what will happen
The rope would go into the belfry and probably the bell will be damaged
There doesn't seem to be any reason why the bell would be damaged; just likely the rope would come out of the ringing room as was stated, the bell might take a few minutes to settle down (!) but it doesn't seem as if anything would be damaged too badly, it would just go through a full rotation and eventually stop. The rope would just need to be moved back into place and down the hole, and ringing could continue.
Are tihs the nella of Buckfast Abbey ?
Bell pepper anyone
what would happen if it was in the upside-down position and it went in a complete circle?
That's a good question. Not sure I want to find out. Clapper motion might be interesting...
@AaronB 24034 No. Change ringing bells have stays to allow them to rest in the 'up' position. If the bell goes over the ringer lets go of the rope. Stays are designed to break if subject to undue force.
@AaronB 24034 Hosanna is not a change ringing bell.
The rope would shoot through the ceiling.

ProfMoose Does Hosanna ring by the hour?
Or he has a schedule on ringing?
He has an electric hammer which I guess the monks use for the Consecration during the Mass but I don't really know how they use him. He gets swung on special occasions when we are asked to ring the others.

Hopefully everything was designed with good safety margins. Hosanna was designed to be swung but not that high. The correct name for the smacker is a clapper. :-)
oh ok i just didnt know if it was smacker or clapper so i referd to it as smacker :)
Smacker is certainly more descriptive :-D
true lol as i thaught the clapper was a smacker as it does seem to smack against it :)
@@lillylouise5353 Exactly XD/XD
Is it possible to flip the bell the whole way or is something blocking it?
Yes it is possible but we have taken steps to help prevent it. We were all very shocked and a little frightened when we saw how high Hosanna was,
@@ProfMoose it would have been bad if the clapper just randomly gave up on life when they he was so high
Profmoose: next time you do vid in buckfast Abbey can you put the camera in the middle not the corner? (Like that other vid you made called "Buckfast Abbey with solo by hossana?) Thanks in advance
Funny you should say that... The plan is centre on wheel side and hopefully a low level video too.

oh i just ththaught bc of the big bell swining that hard the berings would exspode under strain
It's scary because it's big but from an engineering view it's fairly simple to manage. Jet engines have to cope with far higher stresses for a lot longer - they also cost a lot more... ;-)
but doent the bells sound bow have to cope with the hight impact from the clapper??
it has a strong headstock
