Thx for all the good answers! 

The bells look like below. And i exactly dont want them to sound like cans, so that would be my question. I know that i can experiment with the shape, but i was wondering, whether i can do something as well with treating the metal in some specific way. And those bells are made fot the cows to wear them and to be heard.

Regards 

Hello everybody.

I want to forge a bell ( about 18 to 20 cm big). I want to Use it for cattle. I want to make the sound last longer when it strikes. Do i have to harden it more or do i need more tension on the metall? Or do i need to do something else to make it sound longer?

Regards and thanks in advance
