Bell ringing is a diminishing art, and form of
musical expression in much need of revival.
With the launch of the new Creche of Belles,
this trend should be reversed within a single
generation.

More details might be helpful.
Incidentally,I'm not sure what those guys in the photograph are doing, but they're certainly not ringing bells. |
|
| |
//but they're certainly not ringing bells//
au contraire ! |
|
| |
you could at least have stuffed some cotton wool into that poor baby's ears. |
|
| |
Many, although, not all, baby playsets include bells. But quite frankly, musical training is lost on babies (though they do enjoy the music). If you want to influence Gen Z (or whatever we're up to), you need to reach the 5- to 15-year-olds. |

I actually did go in for a spot of bell ringing as a teen, but I haven't touched them since, mostly due to lack of opportunity. Which is perhaps the bigger problem that you're not addressing. |
|

Beg to differ, [xenzag]; to ring a church bell, the tail end of the rope is held in one hand while both hands pull on the sally (that's the thick woolly bit of the rope). Those guys are just standing there holding the sally. |
|

*points xenzag at angel's profile* Incidentally, I have been waiting for aaaages for someone to post an idea about Cornish traction engines that play prog rock on bells, but it never came. Not even in part. Until now. Almost. |
|

Oh, and that croissant is mine. |
|
| |
I keep wondering what this idea has to do with the Nativity manger. And where are the pretty girls? Not a creche nor a belle to be found anywhere in this idea. |

[angel] //the tail end of the rope is held in
one hand while both hands pull on the
sally// - so that's what's wrong with the
image - bell ringers have three hands! |
|
| |
[angel] - I'm sure you're right.... I know
nothing about bell ringing. Don't care
about collecting buns or fish either and
never did - sighs, goes away. |
|
| |
xenzag has halfbaked a creche of belles-
but most seem not sure if it's fresh or smells.
with just one fish and one bread,
clappers dance 'round baby's head,
and we'll all be better off with fewer deciBels.

//I know nothing about bell ringing.//
Good thing I'm here then. |
|
| |
absolutely [angel] It's always good to hear
an expert ringing in your ears - I'm
working on sprouting that extra hand
though, so that I can take up the old bell
ringing myself :-) |
|
| |
Are you not capable of holding two things in the same hand? |
|
| |
Tried that once. Just once. |
