My wife teaches in a multi-handicap blind school and has heard of a good sound stimulus consisting of a cymbal which has had holes drilled in it and rivets then fitted such that they are loose and apparantly make good sound when the cymbal is struck. To add to the noise small chains can be fitted through the rivets.
Rather her than me in the classroom ! ....But I need suggestions as to what sort of rivets. The cymbal is brass and .85mm thick. Pop rivets come to mind but I haven't used them for ages and can't amongst other things remember if they are hollow once fixed - and then also what size for such thin material ?
