In 1599, Bartlme Grassmayr cast his very first bell in Tyrol. The expertise of Grassmayr Bell Foundry and the secret of bell construction ("ribbing") have been carefully guarded every since - continually improved upon through scientific research, and successively handed down from father to son - a tradition preserved for more than 14 generations.
All over the world - in nearly 100 countries - bells from Grassmayr Bell Foundry in Tyrol can be heard tolling: for God's honor and people's delight.
In addition to casting new bells, Grassmayr Bell Foundry has specialized in restoring historical bells and manufacturing a complete line of accessories and technical equipment for bell ringing systems.
The secret of Grassmayr bells lies in their unique construction (ribbing).
Thus, the bells from Tyrol are actually musical instruments, whose complex structure produces several different musical notes (in large bells, as many as 50 different notes). The tonal structure of a Grassmayr octave bell, for example, distinguish itself through its striking acoustically audible note, the prime, the upper octave, the fifth, the third and the lower octave. The challenge lies in bringing these different sonorous notes into harmony with both the other pitches in the same bell as well as with the range of notes contained in the other bells of the set.
Based on the given tonal requirements, i.e. the musical notes of already cast bells, Grassmayr calculates the new bell form and transfers them graphically as "ribbing" onto a wooden mold. With the help of this pattern, the casting form is then manufactured of loam. During the casting, molten bronze ( 78% copper and 22% tin) flows at a temperature of 1100 ° C. into the bell form
Besides the individual Harmonized half-tones, the vibrant, long lasting echo (tonal duration) is One of the hallmarks of Grassmayr bells.
As I was searching for Sabah historical building I stumbled upon this. The 3rd St John's Mission Church look like it belong to historic old building list. Seeing as it's standing (and renamed) I assumed that it's still in use in some way or another.
It is still standing and used to this day ! please see my facebook link for more information if you wish to know more and contact the present priest of the parish
