Thanks a lot!
Yea I thought copper pipe would be too weak.
Conduit I've seen so far looks pretty shit.
Cost of stainless might be doable considering the price of the gong itself, not seing easy-assembly fittings so far though; it's either for glueing or looks like a faff (headless screws etc.)
Anyway thanks for the useful advice, I appreciate it.

Whatevs. Malleable, ductile, wrought is all the same for your purposes, just get whatever is cheapest. You'll probably want steel pipe, iron generally only comes in much bigger sizes than your design requires. Consider electrical conduit rather than water pipe, it might be cheaper.
Brass fittings would be OK if you want that aesthetic, copper plumbing pipe would be too weak.
Nice but pricey. If you're not playing on the deck of an ocean going vessel, not worth it unless you don't might paying loads for shiny.
