The sound of St Mary Le Bow (London), a.k.a. THE Bow Bells, ringing Stedman Cinques, as a practice. The Zoom H4nPro was placed above the bells, in the base of the spire, on a thin wooden trapdoor. Fairly lenghty recording (13 mins), but gives plenty of time to select from. Take a small section from the start for the traditional "Rounds" where the bells sound in descending order (in terms of pitch), or select from the bulk of the recording to get some traditional English Style Change Ringing.
These bells are known as the bells white called Dick Whittington (Mayor of London) back when he tried to flee, and also as the 'Great bells of bow' in nursery rhyme 'oranges and lemons'.
Use away! This seems to be (IMO - that of a proper bellringer) the best recording of bells on here, so please do use it!!
