Change Ringing (Method Bell Ringing)

English full-circle tower bell ringing, where a band rings memorized permutation sequences called 'methods' — the bells never repeat a row until the whole extent is exhausted. Each ringer controls one rope, striking their bell in a precise, ever-shifting order dictated by the method rather than any tune.
