Other Bell recordings

Below are some recordings of a number of rings of bells - usually from peals or peal attempts. 

My recordings are made using a Creative Labs Nomad 3 mp3 player / recorder using a simple non-amplified microphone. Wherever possible I place the microphone out of the ringing chamber (usually in the clock room or an intermediate chamber) so that calls from the conductor, rope noise and ribald comments from the rest of the band do not spoil the ringing.

The recordings are then uploaded to the PC and hiss or rumble removed using the program Cool Edit 2000.
