Good luck. I could use a set of 25 for my Cyclonophone, made from
Cyclone wire fence posts I scavenged:

Cool! Assuming those tubes are 1+ inch dia, that must be a couple
feet wide and "high"?
Do you play it like a xylophone? I.e., "flat" with hand-held
mallets?
Unfortunately, despite the wonderful sound, it's too heavy for a
musician to want to lug it to gigs :(.
Isn't that what the wheels are for? :>
*Is* the sound good? One of the problems I face is settling
on the right material. Finding some material that is
*available* in the various dimensions needed as well as
sounding good over a wide range of frequencies.
E.g., Five foot O2 tanks make *great* chimes -- but don't
fare well in the upper registers! :-/
