Original Video: Guitar insite 10

Hello, this is Gothic and Go 52. The last video I talked about Big Band in clock tower is this video and do the bell tower. I have a video called Bell Winging, a science of church bells. I've seen how church bells are made on the episode of The Job Your Mike went into a bell fun dream and then later in the episode he went in that same sequence or he went and he cleaned out of the inside of bell tower and you wouldn't fix the electronics and the bell actually went off when you was working on it. Anyway, here's the video. I'm just going to miss it in a second. I'm going to sit in a second. I'm thinking about my dog, Belle, when you're going to bring it.. I'm thinking about my dog, Belle, Belle, Belle, Belle….. Cheers Lisa! Now, bells, you hear more often than you might think, like at school when the bell goes to say it's your lunch break or at home when someone rings your door bell. But I'm actually interested in church bells and I want to know what's going on up in that tower behind me. How do bells really work? What makes the sound? Well, there's only one one way to find out. Come on. I've come here to St. Giles' Church in South Limb's Harpacher to find out more about church bells. I want to see how the bells up in the tower create the sound that we hear. Is it really as simple as pulling on a rope? This is a church-bell like a birthday of a cocktail cocktail mix. The video is called Boeringing of Science and Church Bells. Is there any science? But first thing's first, I've come to meet my good friend Louisa. She's a math student and she knows a thing or two about church bells. So tell me how exactly did you get into Church Bell? Well, I always used to walk past my local church child and I used to hear it all the time. I used to love the sound and I had my phone's dad was a preacher and he just kind of and one goes it just I just kind of got into it. It just kind of like often yeah it has a natural occurrence yeah and then I had to go and really enjoyed it. So tell me how exactly does maths come into burying itself? Well it's very simple maths but it's to do with sequences and you have a number of like numbers of six bells one two three four five six and we're all assigned a number and then we swap around after we run with first bell so it kind of changes the sequence so so it's very simple maths. So you can make the songs but just change around the numbers? exactly. Oh well.. songs but just changing around the numbers. Exactly. Oh well. So it would be really difficult if we rang the same bell. Yeah, it would be a little bit more. At long last I actually get to go up into the tower. I think the ring is all waiting for me so I'd better hurry up. Rule familiar with the classic church times and the sound we go from outside. But how many of us really know was going on up about our heads? Well you sit back and I'll put in the hard look. Let's go find out. The two! Trebbles going and she's gone. Bailoring like this has been practiced for many hundreds of years and I think I can see the appeal. I wonder what excitement've got on here then. Oh, best we ever protect the beer box. We're all down from hearing. Okay, hopefully you can hear me. Because these males are quite loud. And you can imagine, you can hear me way away. Now this girl is currently going… run up. To start with, they're hugged. They're hugged. Now this girl is currently going to run up. To start with, they're hung downwards. It's almost… And why do you try to tell the bell sound different? Is it because of their size or their shape? Or is it because of this thing in the middle, the clapper? Here at Whitechapal Bell Foundry, not only do they cast the bells, but they also tune them. Once these bells have cooled, metal will be cut away from inside into a bell makes a perfect sound. And church bell is effectively a giant percussion instrument. When it is struck by a hammer, it vibrates a particular pitch. This is determined by the mass shape and rigidity of the metal. This is the same with any percussion instrument. With cylophones, for example, where a different size and thickness of the bar gives a different note. But with a bell, you also have a resonance chamber, which is the hollow bit in the middle. This amplifies the sound, so you can hear it when you're lying in bed on a Sunday morning. So how the bell times reach our ears? Well, sound travels in waves, much like ripples on a pond. Lower base frequencies have longer waves, as in greater distances between the peaks. Let's try this one. as in greater distances between the peaks. Let's try this one. You can see the greater distances between the peaks. But with higher treble frequencies, you get shorter waves. Let's have a look at this one. And you can see that quite clearly. In fact, the light is built on a church tower is referred to as a treble. And when we pull off on the ropes, you say, the two, treble's going and she's gone. So if you want to find out more about barringing in your local area, check our website and press back of details. Now back to you, Lisa, in the studio. There was such a show as ploopers. What they were doing is changing. I thought they pulled the rope on the bell and then they pulled off and the bell ran a sequence. And the bell would be like, I can show you with my last thing here. You see this right here, the bell would be attached to wheels on the side where that wooden thing is right there and then it's turned off like that and as it rings the bow will go down like that and then they would bring back up like that like that and the hammer you could see right there would move from side to side as the kind of swing down like that and the hammer you could see right there would move from side to side as the bell kind of swing down like that on the wheel on the side and then swing back up onto the other side and the hammer would move from one side to there depending on which direction it was as the rope was pulled. It turned the wheel and the wheel itself moved the bell like it pulled it ring it ring it like pulling it ring it like that ring it like that ring it ring it like it pulling it ring it like that. Dang and then it'd go around. Dang basically. Like you have the bell right here, you know, and then you pull it, the clappers on this side……………………. You have the bell right here, and then you pull it, the clapper is on this side. You pull it, the bell would swing around the other direction, and it would be up, it's swing around the opposite direction, and it'd be up again, but the clapper would be on the other side instead of on this side. Like you pull the rope and you'd do that. The rope would like, you'd pull it open, the rope was coiled around the wheel itself, and then tie it out of certain bars. When you pull the rope, I unwound the rope on the wheel on the wheel, then turn the bell. Like I said, it's up this way. Clippers on this side, they'll ring, it'll swing around, and the clamp will be on the opposite direction, across on the other side of the bell in the inside itself. Basically how church bells work. But today's modern bell is the require a rope and when you push a button there's a little clap on the side that goes ding and it hits it. If you push the button turn on it, it goes ding, it's a couple seconds, ding, it gives it the effect of a real life church burning. Or some towers have computerized bell systems, and others, it's happening to computer what they want recorded, and it will play off the bell song. It'll sound like the tower actually has bell in it, it really doesn't. There's carolons too. We have to look at the gold knobs, and they hit the knobs. And it's like a big piano of sorts, and the knobs are attached to a rope, which goes up into the tower, and it has to hunt its bell, so it's like, dang, dang, dang, dang, dang, make a song out of it. So some towers have like one rope for a single bell to ring or chime to call it worship or special occasions and sometimes like one feature in that video I have multiple bells all those known as chain hanging. I think that's it.
