E xperimental researches of one of the eldest bells («Mazepa» -see Appendix1) in Ukraine, are considered in the article. The spectra and spectratime analysis of bell ringing is embodied, main frequencies of oscillation and musical intervals of sounding are determined. Comparative description of bell sounding with the known bells of Russia and Bulgaria is given.References
