Metal bars held horizontally might be better. That's called a Glockenspiel, and used instruments are generally available on eBay for ~$100. "Toy" glocks, with 27 notes (50% larger range than your samples) are available for ~$25.

They already have the right "suspension" for the bars, and are designed to be struck repeatedly, and fast.
