Awakening Bell - Hackdot

Is anyone else obsessed with bells? I fucking love bells. Genuinely my favorite thing in the world is finding big bells and sitting somewhere near them while they're struck. I really want to explore this interest more some day, like if I get hella rich I'm gonna have some fucknormous bell forged. Like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bqpHuloKZs

TIL the largest bell ever made, weighing about three hundred tonnes, was lost because four hundred years ago, some Portuguese guy stole it and then dropped it in a river:

As far as anyone knows, it's still at the bottom of the river!

I kinda like bells but this first sample (from the posted link) would drive me nuts. If this woke me up my whole day would be ruined.

My desk at work is a 15 minute walk to a carillon.
