My name's Ty, and I'm one of the co-presidents of Harvard's Lowell House Bellringer Society. I was recently made aware of MIT's bellringing society, and we were wondering if you and your organization of bellringers would be interested in potentially visiting each other's bellringing sessions? 

As you may or may not know, we ring Russian style bells on our side of Cambridge. Lowell House notably housed the bells of the Danilov Monastery (seat of the Russian Orthodox church) during the 20th century. Today, we ring a replica set of the Danilov bells, only ours have additionally been tuned to a western scale. This makes our bells the only ordained Russian bells able to play melodies of classics such as Orff's "O Fortuna!" or George Michael's "Last Christmas". Our largest bell, Mother Earth (pictured below), weigns some 13000 kg, and is in fact, quite awesome. It's kinda neat if you ask me.

We would love to arrange a time or times where we visit each other's ringings! We ring sundays at 1pm, and it appears you have a ringing on Saturdays as well as Sundays. Would you potentially want to organize a weekend where some of our members visit your practice at the Old North Church on Saturday and some of you attend our ringing the following Sunday? We would love to share bellringing knowledge and get to know our fellow ringers!

Please let me know, and happy holidays!

Best,

Ty
