Experiment: Medieval bell founding

Bastian Asmus

A reconstruction of a Carolingian bell will be cast at Campus Galli eventually. Come and see how the experiment progresses. I will be there for another three days and explain all the necessary steps. If all goes well, we might see the bell founding within the next week or so, however I cannot promise that. At this stage everything depends on the weather.

As an illustration of these early bells in an ecclesiastic function the bell of Canino is depicted here.Oldest-known-church-bell-from-Canino-Italy
