Well......my grandfather built a violin out of Stainless Steel. And, actually sounds beautiful (not metallic) !

Yep, after many years of playing with all kinds of materials, including plain old sheet metal and various kinds of nut 
shells,

He even filed a patent on it, however, it came back saying that you can't file on a "process", now if he made a new 
instrument, that would have been different.

It is proudly displayed in the extended family business in Troy, MO:  http://hechlers.com/index.html
