Hi Frank, I watched the YouTube video (Hark, the herald-angels sing, https://www.cpdl.org/wiki/images/5/54/AMNS_35_Mendelssohn_Harmony.pdf). You're right. The tubes move less than I would expect. That's probably due to the weight of the tubes, as well as the low impact energy. Something you should take into account. The spring tension probably needs to be considered in particular. However, the sound isn't good to me - as a non-musician, a bit off-key, not to say wrong. But that has its charm, too. I should perhaps add that I like "keredson's" (Derek Anderson's) project and respect his work.
