Hi
Not at all sure where to ask this question, but reckon that the best knowledgebase must be here.
I am intending to make a large outdoor chime for my Primary School (I am leaving after 25 years).
(something like this

I reckon on using 50mm aluminium tubing that I can get hold of.
Trouble is, I can't try before I buy and it isn't cheap as I'll need about 7 or 8 metres of the stuff (it'll be quite big).
I'm OK with everything I need to do apart from timbre.
Can anyone tell me if they reckon that aluminium tubing will ring if suspended properly. It'd be awful to make it and find that it is not a suitable material.
Thanks
Nick
