My wife was thinking of making a set of those pipes you hit to play music.. dunno what they are called. You could of course use any old metal pipe but something hard and thin walled would probably produce better sound.

Anyone know where to get something like that? Or know a bit about metal?

Tubular Bells is the name you’re looking for.
