Coded messages in the tolling of the bells
How interesting. Some of the messages I knew, others I didn't. I didn't realise that the musical key of the bells could even be saying something.
I was even surprised that bells are even tuned to a specific note! There is a lot of depth to “bell culture”, that’s for sure.
What a fascinating compendium! I had always wondered about the 11th hour bell and what it meant. Now I know.
Thanks, Jill! So you noticed the 11th hour bells, too? I did when I first moved to Germany, and it was fascinating to ask people why they rang at 11:00. I got several different answers, but it turns out they were all correct.
