I think one of the things that makes the Willson not seem as "resonant" is that it is not as resonant. The bell is extremely thick, and there is little or no sensation of it vibrating in one's hands when playing it. However, I don't think that factor has much of any effect on the sound that comes out of the bell...
Joe "sort of a similar difference - though with another of the five senses - in sensation as when playing a tall-belled tuba vs. a short-belled tuba - as the short-belled tuba's bell is closer to one's ears" S.
