Thanks for the clarification Tootsall!
The DC (direct current) of course does not oscillate and would correspond to us just blowing air through the horn without producing a tone - only useful when using the (deburred) spitkey! We get rid of that constant stream very quickly. The AC (alternating current) would be the vibration set up in the horn when actually playing it.

A heavy bell cannot "sap" anything out. Everything contributes to the tone that we hear!

Check out any church on Sunday for bells with rythmic integrity!
