I seek some information about Russian church bells.
First, here in the USA is there anyone else that actively markets and sells church bells from Russia other than
www.russianbells.com? [
russianbells.com] I am aware of the more well-known foundries in England, Holland and France but how about Russian bells imported to the USA? What are the best foundries? Vera?
Also, can someone here point me out to some suggested sequences when planning a chime or collection of bells? Which tones and which octaves go together? Let's say the starting point is a single bell in G in the 1st octave. Which bells could be harmoniously added to that first bell?
Any other insight into the ringing of bells in the Christian East would be deeply appreciated. Thanks.
