Or perhaps I want an ENTIRE ORCHESTRA of them.

So what prevents you to invent your own? Get a pair of mallets and play whatever you meet
Tables, glassware (plenty of that in your workplace I guess), flower pots, pans; it doesn’t really matter what you hit, it’s the how. I do this out of necessity; four timpani are rather hard to fit into my appartment, so I practise on four pocket books. I have different sets for different tones, so I can retune too 
I like how the sculptures look, but I find the sound kind of thin. Perhaps a pair of better mallets brings out more of the tone, and less of the metal.
