Extraordinarily so. It's the reason why tubular bells exist as a compromise for large scale church bells. I read in a new scientist mag last year, might have been the year before last, that some boffins came up with a bell which brought unwanted resonance and unwanted harmonics down to a massively lower level (it was a rather odd taper figure 8 type shape IIRC) and in doing so, created a bell that people thought, upon ringing, didn't sound right.
