My next project.... a metallophone made from brake drums from my local scrap yard. This octave wasn't tuned at all, the drums are just as I found them. After I develop a mounting system, they will go to the Earth Tones Music Garden at Raven Hill Discovery Center. For more information about my instruments, go to http://www.tinkertunes.com
@expertmax1 You're right, of course. I do have another set, that is made of actual brake drums (and some rotors)... and they have a nice pitched tone, if you play the sides of the drum, rather than the top.
They are not brake drums but brake rotors. And the big wheel at the left is an engine's flywheel.
