Bell construction
The form of church bells has remained unchanged for many centuries.
Individual copies vary in size. In our foundry, we cast bells from 25 kg to over 5 tonnes.
The most important element of the bell's construction is its heart - its shape and its placement is essential for producing the correct sound. Even a small error in the design may cause a bell break or other damage.
The elements from which the bell is made are: mouths, lips, bead line, waist, shoulder, head, crown. Inside the bell is its heart (clapper).
