You are likely thinking of brass. Bronz has much more copper and is far less likely to ring.

Bronze is very hard and dense and yet it rings like a bell so I think we need more than just rigidity.

Well yes my appologies, it does ring and bells are made of it, but not like brass. Hence, cymbals are made from brass. Bronze is more resistant to weather. Brass disintegrates as it tarnishes, and bronze does not or at least much less, and therefore desired on marine propellers and bells. Just tonk on a piece and you can hear the differences readily.

I may be mistaken but I think many church bells are made of bronze.
