He said it would consist of 10 percussion instruments but the group wanted to hear views as to where exactly in the city centre to install it.

Mr Sephton said: 'We think it would be a good feature in the city. It's a music city, we are well-known for that and we think we need more things to draw people into the city centre.

'We've had a pretty good response so far and we are not looking for a lot of public money because we are looking for sponsors.'

Mr Sephton said possible locations included Fargate, The Moor and Barker's Pool but a final decision was yet to be made.

He added: 'Where we put it is something that we are in discussion with council officers over. If we are going to go ahead we need some people to say that it's a good idea and we'd need to apply for planning permission for it.'

Visitors to the city centre would be able to play the instruments in the Harmony Pavilion.
