Clapper calculations

Bell systems are dynamic multi-pendulum systems. In order to achieve optimal ringing conditions for good sound development and protection of the bell, the two pendulum bell (in conjunction with the yoke) and clapper must be dynamically matched.

Using computer models and dynamic simulation tools, the geometric and dynamic properties of the pendulum are designed to match the ringing conditions to the specific conditions of the building and the musical specifications of the possible bells.

Examples of the differently shaped clappers that we have created can be found in our testimonials.
