Have him try 2 pieces of 2" black steel pipe about 2' long together. Easier to transport than an anvil.

I believe he already has the anvil.

Then try a piece of pipe as a striker.

How about a common ball peen hammer, they are made to strike metal. A carpenters hammer may chip as it is not made to hit harder metals other than nails. Don't think an anvil will chip. Roly

I wondered about a ball peen. I think to get the biggest sound, he'd need one that's fairly large? I'll look for one of those.
I also wonder about the 2-pound sledge I have. Is that hard enough or is it also brittle? I know I've hit metal with it.
Interesting thing is that percussionists want a certain tone with their "instruments", whatever they are. Even the non-tuned drums are tuned in a big orchestra - crazy as that sounds. You can tighten the skins on 'em to change their tone.

I'll look into that, too. A big piece might give a more interesting sound.
I think this high school still has a shop in it. They might have the pipe sitting around which will eliminate costs, too.

That is probably a single jack. Perhaps a bit on the light side if it is indeed only 2 lbs, but probably intended for pretty much the same job.

Use a hammer and an anvil; and when I nod my head you hit.
