I don't think that a bell is correctly modelled as a shell of variable thickness. The inner surface is smooth, and the outer surface has ridges. These ridges are apparently important to the timbre, thus it may be more appropriate to consider it as a solid volume of arbitrary shape. Of revolution, if you want to stay with a one-dimensional model.

And bells are tuned by taking off material on a lathe at various positions on the inside of the bell. https://funwithbells.com/nigel-taylor/ https://funwithbells.com/nigel-taylor/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEJkMalMVv4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEJkMalMVv4
