Music for social and communicative development...
What was that instrument and where do I get one?
Boomwhackers - musical plastic tubes! Great for large numbers and low volumes. This site is run by the main company, and offers useful free resources.
The HAPI drum - made from recycled gas bottles - a wonderful pitched metal instrument that anyone can play with success.
The Hang - the instrument that looks like a spaceship and sounds like the music of the spheres... the makers no longer have a web presence, so here's the Wikipedia entry.
Drums! Jane endorses Remo drums, which last for ever, are easily maintained, and are particularly suited to health settings because the man-made heads can be sanitised without damage.
All manner of things - a wonderful source of world percussion instruments, including Remo drums, can be found at Knock on Wood.
Inspiration
These guys taught me everything I know...

Musque et Sante (France) - musicians and trainers bringing music to healthcare environments
