Recordist's notes

On the national day fest, ringing of all the small bells. The big bell Salvator, located on the north tower, doesn't ring at this moment. Recorded inside the tower. Thanks to Thibaut Boudart for precious help to record these bells. ~~~Before the bells ringing, there's the automatic hour chime.
