Stedman_Triples Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 As an active bellringer contemplating moving to France, are there any ex pat bellringers out there, and what do you do for your weekly fix of Stedman, Superlative and Spliced.I havent tried ringing in the continental fashion (yet) although it does seems to have some sort of rhyme and reason but not as methodical as english ringing.Playing Ringbell on the computer just doesnt have the same appeal somehowIf I was to win the lottery I would by a house with tower and get Whitechapel Foundry to come and out and set me up with a peal of 6/8 bells and run Bellringing holidays for the brits.Are there any bellringers out there??stedman triples Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neil Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 AFAIK it isn't possible to ring changes on bells in France. The reason is that French bellframes do not include a wheel, which makes it impossible to control the striking. Bells aren't rung up, but just swing back and forth like a pendulum in their own time.
