Filmed 01/09/2024 - a few call-changes as a service touch following a quarter peal on these bells, having met unusually short this morning. The bells in use here are 4,5,6b,7,8,9 of the 12. When the bells were being recast in 1925, the original plan was to install a sharp 2nd as the semitone bell - however, the principal donor, Canon Henry Edward Nolloth, insisted that a flat sixth would give a meatier, grander sounding "light eight" (using the 9th as the tenor instead of the 8th). What a good decision that was - this combination (both as an eight, and as a six) sound utterly sublime, and are right up there as a ring in their own right. (This decision also made a light ten very easy to obtain, via the installation of an extra treble in 1978).
NB - before the pedants jump in! - the video title is a slight misnomer as there are technically two "middle sixes" at York, using either this combination, or bells 3-8 of the 12 (arguably, this is the "true" middle six - but then what do I call this combination?!).
Tenor 24-3-0 in Eflat
