A campanologist is a person who studies or practices the art of bell ringing. This includes understanding the history, design, and acoustics of bells, as well as the techniques used to ring them. Campanologists often work with church bells, which are commonly found in steeples and towers. In addition to ringing bells, campanologists may also be involved in the maintenance and restoration of bell towers. They often collaborate with other experts, such as bell founders and musicians, to ensure that bells produce the desired sound and remain in good condition for public enjoyment.
