  phil99 said  The flexible arm would allow the inertia of the striker to ping the bell without resting on it to avoid dampening the note.


Yip, that is the way to do it. Then the solenoid timing is not critical anymore. And the kinetic energy in the striker is passed on to the bell, leaving less energy in the striker, so it will not virbrate/resonate against the bell a second time again. But that is an adjustment (also present in door bells (the old-non-electronic).
