I did a little search and turned up this page. It's got some interesting comments. According to their research, a dead-soft (annealed bell) would yield a very dark sound. A hardened bell would yield a brighter sound. I spent a couple of years manufacturing automobile horns. The same physics apply to all accoustics.... doesn't matter much whether it's a car horn, a tuba, or a kazoo.
