Master class on bell ringing for the visually impairedtranslated

September 26, 2026 · 1 min read

On September 26, graduates of the bell ringing school of the Simbirsk diocese at the Spaso-Voznesensky Cathedral gave a lecture and ringing master class for participants in the Ulyanovsk branch of the All-Russian Society of the Blind.

Guests of the cathedral learned that each bell has a “head”, “shoulders”, “ears”, “tongue”, “torso” (torso), got acquainted with many bright pages of the “bell history” of our country, and listened to the traditional Rostov, Moscow, and Pskov-Pechersk trezvons.

Interesting topics for discussion were the differences between modern and lost bell foundries, bell “profiles”, variants of church bells and compositions of bell bronze.

Интересно, что они начали именно с анатомии колокола — голова, плечи, язык. У нас в Варне на одном старом колоколе тоже язык чуть ли не с руку толщиной, и когда звонарь его раскачивает, звук совсем другой. А про ростовские трезвоны — это всегда отдельная история, хорошо, что показали слепым на ощупь и на слух.
