[TheForge] Triangle dinner bell

[Don Snitgen]

Howdy,
I haven't been on theForge for a spell, but thought I would come back with a
question.
I made a triangle dinner "bell" that's about a foot on each side of 5/8"
stock with a bracket to hang it up.  I made a nice S hook to hang the
triangle on and hit it with the steel clanger.  The only sound it made was a
dull thud.  Same thing with chain.  I hung it up with an old boot lace
(braided nylon made to look like leather) and you could hear it ring all
over the neighborhood.  The lace has warn out and the triangle is heavy
enough to do serious damage to the grandchildren's toes and mine.
Any suggestions on how I could use metal to hang it up so it's stronger and
permanent?
I've tried using chain and S hooks, but they all seem to cancel out the
vibrations that make the triangle ring.
I use some ideas.
