Tower bell recordings

This page contains short recordings (10-40 sec) of Dorset's bells in mp3 format, none of which should take more than a couple of minutes to download on a dialup connection.  Eventually I hope to build up a library of all of the counties bells, but this will take time!  Most of the recordings have been made outside the tower.

Below each link to the recording I have added the weight and the key.  These may vary from other sources.  The tenor weight is what I think is the most accurate.  Dorset suffers badly from 'bell foundry weights' and therefore some of the quoted weights below are either mine or other peoples estimates.
