PVC wall thickness and resonance

Does wall thickness have a significant affect on the ease of playing a PVC shakuhachi? I had made a 2.0 from thinnner-wall material (maybe 1.8-2mm thickness) and now after making a C from Sch 40 (3mm walls) it feels harder to play. The body feels kind of heavy and dead and doesn't resonate at all. Don't get me wrong, it produces a decent sound, but it doesn't feel as 'alive.' Any explanations?
