Oh wow, wonder how that happened? Something jammed-up in the gong, maybe?

At least the one on the crossing in the thumbnail sounds rather nice still, lol.

As shown later in the video, the bell in question has since been replaced.

These Italian Teardrops are pretty well worn-out, with one only clicking and making the occasional weak ring:
