-> Could've been. :-) 

-> When a bell is used as a musical instrument it is confusing
-> IMO. There are many variations on what composes a 'bell'. There
-> are cast iron, brass, copper, steel, and even wooden bells.
-> There are a variety of shapes and sizes for the 'clapper'. Some
-> are struck externally and have no clapper. It's almost
-> infinitely variable. 

From that page with "More then I wanted to know about Bells" mentioned
that. :-)  :-)

-> TW> is missing. 

-> Attack is the very first milliseconds of sound when the bell is
-> 'struck'. The Roland bell soundfonts seem a bit high-pitched
-> (to me) at the 'attack' and I was disappointed with that.
-> Sounds as though all of the bells had iron 'clappers'. 

-> The higher notes give a sound of a small thin walled bell
-> rather than the richer sound of cast brass bells. 
              
 That is what I noticed i nthe "Sample".
