I'd love to hear one of those Challis harpsichords you mention. It would be very interesting to hear what kind of a sound those materials would produce. Judging from the sound of tuned aluminium hand bells I've heard, I'd expect a mellower sound than I'm used to, and probably a slower decay as well. I think that's a polite way of saying that I don't think it would sound like a harpsichord :-)
