Dave W wrote What does the old "thunk test" prove? You could whack a steel mixing bowl and it work ring for a week. But would that bowl make a good horn bell? ************ Cabbage says: Lawson did some studies of how horns sound with annealed and unannealed flares. (These were published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America some while ago.) An annealed flare is one which rings for a while when you strike it; unannealed flares generally will not....... My $.02 worth ... Doesn't any nifty aspect of the bell "ringing" go out the window when you put your big fat hand in the bell? Also, a steel mixing bowl won't ring a bit if there's some chocolate chip cookie dough in it ... wait ... wrong forum. Sorry.
