Video clips

We have produced a pilot DVD covering the stages from rounds to plain-hunting to a method. This could be circulated as a DVD, or individual chapters could be available for download by Broadband.

Below we include links to the section which takes a ringer from being able to ring call-changes to plain hunting the treble to a method. It stresses ringing by rhythm, although it also explains ropesight. The approach is divided into easy steps, starting with plain hunting on three, which could be adopted by any band and avoids ringing plain hunt by knowing ‘the numbers’.

The video is very much a draft, produced to demonstrate what is possible. It is envisaged that the video will be re-shot, with additional scenes to cover alternative exercises that could be used.
