how I made my churchbell ringing dream come true

I've always wanted to ring a churchbell, as It sounded like alot of  fun of pulling on a rope to ring the bell. But as the story starts, back then, alot of  chuches had their churchbells digitized by an electronic carillon system that automatically played a simulated churchbell sound. Pretty good though. Within my years of searching, I found that there were some rare churches that still rang their churchbell manually,but I never got to go to their churches, but I do remember seeing their giant churchbell in their tower and got excited the few times I saw it being rung. Another piece of inspiration was from the Davey and Goliath episode "The Bell Ringer" when Davey gets to help Mr. Op the church custodian to help ring the churchbell. He also got to ring the churchbell at the end of the "New Year" special and got assistance as his younger sister Sally got to hold onto the rope to help ring the big churchbell to bring in the new year.
        In later years, when I moved to my new home, the area seemed old fashioned and there were still some churches that still ring their churchbell. I remember going to one church and discovered that their churchbell is still rung, but this time the rope stretched across as pulled the clapper to ring the bell hanging outside and on the roof of the church. There was an incident of a few times I went to the church, where one of the ministers of the  church had yelled at me very harshly upon me asking if I could help to ring the churchbell. he yelled at me saying "NO! NO! NO! NO! DON'T ASK ME AGAIN! DON'T ASK ME AGAIN!!!!" Now I didn't go and ask him every single day, as I didn't come to that church every Sunday, I had gotten upset and nervous since the minister yelled at me harshly. I thought that nobody should ever get yelled at in God's house. I had attempted to speak to the person in charge of the church and informed her of the minister who yelled at me. She understood and would speak to him, but I never went back to that church as I feared that the minister would see me and yell at me even harsher.  I've read about various churches in the United Kingdom and such that still have their churchbells to be rung by pulling a rope, is rung by other people, and they are not ministers.  They pull on the ropes to ring the bells in a  certain order to learn change ringing and  various othe ringing songs and skills.
           I had found a free program that allowed me to do just that and it was very amazing, but the biggest acomplishment was yet to come. I had gome to another church on Sundays, where they ring their bell to announce the start of worship. The Pastor was very nice, and I had asked her one day if I could ring their  churchbell. She said yes, and arranged the special moment with the ushers. I was excited that I was going to finally achieve my ultimate goal of ringing a churchbell. I got their early, and told the ushers and they took me to be seated to wait for the moment. My heart was pounding in excitement, then one of the ushers  came and guided me to a room where we all said a prayer. A few moments later, the big moment came. The usher guided me and I held onto the rope and pulled it when it was time to ring the churchbell.
BONG BONG BONG BONG BONG,was heard as I successfully rang their churchbell as I rang it 10 times. It was one of the most special feelings I had. So in my mind, I proved the minister who yelled at me in that church wrong. So I won't be gonig back to that first church anytime soon, as it was wrong for the minister to yell at me like that. Maybe there was a little kid that wanted to ring that bell and  constantly asked him day after day, and that's what got him mad. Interesting enough that one of our neighboors works in that church and I  feel uneasy when I see them, as they knew what I had done, and I guess I feel ashamed to talk to them.  Chances are they've written down the incident and have me down on their record, since I did attend their church at times for worship and just sat down in the pew and not ask if I  could ring the bell. Most other times I went upstairs to sit in the balcony as sometimes they performed a handbell choir during Easter and Christmas, which was great to hear.
      So with my acomplishment, I felt proud and happy and that maybe just because one person says you can't do it or you're not allowed, there just might be a way to acomplish it, and all I had to do was ask.

last attempt to find lost churchbell music at Plainview ny church

the church that's located on the boarderline of Hicksville and Plainview, is now the Yale Korean church. It's on the boarder line of where Hicksville ends and Plainview begins.I had gone there receintly last Sunday to attend their annual summer Bazzar. It's not much, as they mostly sell jewelry, toys, some crafts, and alot of imported foods.
I would've taken the bus, as it was a hot day, but I missed the bus and had to walk there. It wasn't far as it was only a 25 minute walk.
       The way it was is that in the mid-late 1990's, I heard this beautiful churchbell music coming from the large gray megaphones mounted ontop of the roof of the church. It was soo beautiful, that I had decided to go there and record the bells as they played at 11:45 a.m. It was great and sounded unlike any other natural churchbell music, as whenever a certain song rang, I stated to think of this cave ontop of a huge snow mountain, and on the inside the sunlight shone through revealing two deer living in there mother and son.  I could tell that some of the music was rung on various mini chime bars and amplified along with the other sythesized bells to the megaphones. It was perfect. I've gone to that church for a Sunday worship service, as my stepdad's mom had sung in their choir, and they had a nice candle lit Christmas service.  In the early 2000's, the church had fell through some rough financial times, and had to sell the property and church. The church had been bought out and changed to Yale Korean. All the original things from the church were taken down, and the churchbells were silenced which made me feel sad.
The only few things I remember, was that the churchbell system was located in a booth, as I saw it next to where I was sitting. the device

This is all I remember seeing upon looking at this device. I'm not sure if it's even a Sanyo. The only thing left behind was a Yamaha digital organ. I do remember seeing a plaque hanging on the wall commemerating the guy who donated this carillon to the church, but that was taken down as well. The only thing is that maybe there is someone who used to work at this church, before being changed to Yale Korean that may be able to clue me in on what the electronic churchbell playing device was. Then I can search for it on the internet and get some sound samples to download.

Further knowledge of the memory of Plainview Churchbells

After all these years of searching for the name of the churchbell system that was at the Plainview ny church, I just started to remember a few things. Within the main lobby, there was a framed plaque haning on the wall commemerating the donation of their new electronic churchbell system. I did manage to look at it before the church had been transformed to Yale Korean. It said something like "John-Dave as the name of the donator, and something like electronic or carillontronic magnabell or electrobell. I haven't been able to go back there, unless they have their Bazzarr during the summer.
The other thing I remember was I saw the device itself on one of the shelves of the booth I was sitting next to.  The devive was a long rectangular shape and had two pitograph symbols of ringing bells on the far bottom left. On the bottom right, it had the name of the company written on it. It was either Samsung, Sanyo, or Yamaha.
The bells were probably part of a sythesizer the emulated the bells, as  they sounded like they were struck by a mallot on a chime bar, and it was amplified, along with the other emulated bell sounds to play their music. Since then, they moved the devive upstairs and I haven't been able to go to the main lobby where the plaque is. That would explain it all, unless they took it down.  The only other possibility is having a closer look at the megaphones that are still mounted on the rooftop of the church. Maybe the company name is imprinted on the front somewhere, but it would  be difficult to see as the megaphones had been moved and point upwards instead of in all four directions.  Chances are the staff might get suspictious if I look around, but last time they allowed me, and I assumed the device was downstairs in a room. But after exploring their dark downstairs basement, I only saw their old electronic midi keyboard and sythesizer board that had the controlls to raise and lower the sound and tones, but it wasn't hooked up to anything. So maybe I'll have better luck after going to their next bizzare.
