A small bell will not continue to "ring" if held or pressed. This is because the continuing ringing sound is caused by vibrations (resonance) within the metal shell. Once struck, the energized metal will continue to give off sound waves for some time. But the resonance can be dampened if a non-vibratory object (hand, cloth, wood, rubber) comes in contact with the metal : these objects do not vibrate well and will absorb the kinetic energy from the metal.

Why does placing your hand on a bell that has just been rung stop the sound immediately?
Placing your hand on a bell that has just been rung stops the sound because it absorbs the vibrations that are causing the bell to resonate, effectively damping the sound wave. This reduces the sound energy being transmitted from the bell to the surrounding air, resulting in a quicker dissipation of sound.
Why does the sound stop when the ringing bell of the cycle is touched?
When the ringing bell of a bicycle is touched, the metal vibrations that produce the sound are dampened by the contact with a solid surface or object, disrupting the sound wave propagation and causing the sound to stop. This interference interrupts the resonance necessary for the bell to continue ringing.

What kind of energy does it take to ring a hand bell?
Ringing a hand bell requires mechanical energy, which is the sum of the potential energy and kinetic energy involved in moving the bell. When you lift the bell and release it, the potential energy stored in the raised position is converted into kinetic energy as the bell swings back and forth, producing the ringing sound. The energy required to ring the hand bell is proportional to its mass, the height it is lifted, and the speed at which it is released.
What musical family does the hand bell belong to?
percussion family . . . the clapper strikes the casting to make the sound

How do you do Vincent Bell's Water Sound?
Vincent Bell's Water Sound is a guitar technique that involves muting the string with the left hand while plucking the string with the right hand to create a watery sound effect. To achieve this, lightly touch the string above the fret with your left hand while plucking the string, creating a harmonically dampened sound resembling water droplets. Experiment with the pressure and position of your left hand to manipulate the effect.
Why do french horn players have to play the instrument with their hands in it?
I've been playing music for around 7 years. when i first started off as a trumpeter i was also puzzled why hornists insert their hand into bell of their french horn. Now I've been playing the French Horn for 5 years. When i insert my hand into the bell, it will changes the pitch, becoming sharp or flat. The more i insert my hand inside the flatter it becomes the lesser i do it, the sharper. Inserting your hand changes the type of sound too, it gives the horn a better sound, a rich and warm sound that's desired. you could also "stop" the horn by covering the whole opening of the bell. It gives a muted like sound. Other than that, it'll look weird if a horn player plays the horn with one hand eh? It'll make the player look funny. i nearly forgot about this, you can lift the horn with your right hand rather than letting it rest on your lap. Most professionals do this. p.s. Dont mess with the horn.
