    Is this a discussion on bell alloys? I'd have thought that a
    silver-based alloy for bells might best be around about 80/20 Ag/Cu,
    or possibly better 50/50. The harder the alloy the better the sound,
    right? The bigger the bell the deeper the tone? 

    So a 2 metre diameter silver shibuichi bell might be nice  ;)
