> That instrument had better be a steel triangle.

Played percussion in high school band. I have a feeling taking care of a triangle is much more intense than you think it is.

You're probably right. I don't know what would be a sane instrument to compare to bicycle care though. Is it possible to play music with a giant rock? It's weird seeing this kind of language about a classic utilitarian device that has stood the test of time exactly because it requires very little care or maintenance.

Yes it is, I'll see if I can find a video.

More related to what you're looking for though, I could see an improvised percussion instrument such as this group [0] play would probably fit the bill.

Definitely agree about that.
