I love that they're named too. I'm not sure exactly how they tune them, but i think it does have something to do with the weight--how thick they are--and maybe something about how they shape them too. I'm sure it takes a lot of skill to do it. Research for FOF is progressing steadily, and I'm coming up with ideas for scenes. But it's going to be a while before I have something for you to read. :-)J. M.

That way you which bell is what. Something that puzzles me though, is how they get them to play a certain pitch. (Is that word I'm looking for?) Does it have something to do their weight? By the way, how is FOF coming along? (Couldn't resist! Had to say something!)Beverly Duell-Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07862757234115839727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4271375082145370896.post-17849913857753453202019-08-26T13:22:38.185-04:002019-08-26T13:22:38.185-04:00Marilyn, I hadn't thought of clock chimes, but...Marilyn, I hadn't thought of clock chimes, but that's another lovely sound. You're fortunate to have public ones in your community. I think that bells are less and less common on churches and public buildings than they used to be, and that's sad. There's something about bells ringing and clocks chiming the hours that warms the heart. Thanks for stopping by and sharing your favorite sounds!J. M.

That would be too much of a good thing. lol! The wind in the trees is one of my favorite sounds, and bird songs. I'm lucky to live where we hear very little traffic thankfully.

I enjoy hearing bells but it's long past in our town. I do hear a clock chime on the hour when on our university campus or downtown to hear the courthouse clock chime hour the hour.

In my little rural home town, for a while, one custodian had permission to ring the bell at noon. I don't know how I would feel if I had Notre Dame's full range of bells ringing on the hour, and I sure hope they don't do it at night!!!! My daily noises now range from cars whizzing by too fast on our little road to birdsongs and wind rustling the leaves. Thanks again for highlighting Notre Dame.Connie R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12038621934457678475noreply@blogger.com
