Apologies for cross-posting (I also posted this to fx-sabers), but I'm in a hurry to get feedback.

For my wedding party next month, a dancer friend will be dancing with an illuminated saber of my making. It will contain a Petit Crouton 1.6. I was initially thinking of making it without sound, but now I'm thinking it might be nice to have sound. I just don't want it to sound like a lightsaber, and I don't want it to sound silly. (I know there are plenty of joke/gimmicky sound fonts out there.) The first that popped to mind was Novastar's "Steel Sword." But I'm not terribly up on the non-Star Wars sound fonts available. Does anyone have any suggestions? By the way, the dancer will be dancing a variation on a traditional Japanese dance of celebration. (That doesn't mean I'm looking for something that sounds "Oriental." 95% of the guests will be Japanese, and "Orientalism" will come off as tacky or weird to such a crowd.) Many thanks in advance for any suggestions!
