I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "medium-sized" spots (bigger than a quarter?). But if you're concerned about cosmetics, there is a polish that will deposit a extremely (costmetically) thin layer of silver on the bare spots. If you don't frequently polish the inside of the bell, an application should last a couple of months--and it can be repeated.
Otherwise, you can have the silver buffed off and laquer applied. It shouldn't be a costly operation and might actually look kind of cool.
