Sorry to everyone thinking that I had one, but no.

I'm looking for one. Or something that sounds like the characteristic PVC instrument used in PVC IV. Preferably something with a fullish range of notes.

Actually, in addition to this, does anyone know of any resources for GarageBand instruments? Not eclectic, random sound effects and not orchestra instruments, but generally alternative/industrial things like PVC IV or a metal-on-metal drum kit.

A built one. There are "Toy types" as well on several sites.

Blueman input
We made all the props ourselves. We found PVC pipe on Canal Street and turned it into musical instruments. But the Jell-O in the show cost $880 a show to make. So our producers said, "Lose the Jell-O." Phil and Chris were working at the time for Jean-Claude Nédélec, who co-owns Glorious Food, the catering company. We told him our sad story, and he said, "We'll make the Jell-O." For three years, Chris and I would take a cab to the Upper East Side to pick up giant Jell-O molds and never paid a cent for it.

That's awesome and all, but...

I'm talking about add-on software instruments for GarageBand and not the real thing. :p You know, like the Boldt set that you can get, but something that sounds like PVC IV or metal-on-metal drums that you can play with the virtual keyboard or transcribe on the staff.
