how to make the sound of a metallic spring

Question

I want to make the sound of spring I want it to be a little comic? IS there a material which I can make the sound?

Answer 1

If you're talking about the traditional "boing"-sound, it's a box with a string and pretty tricky to make yourself, though far from impossible. Another way is a normal Jew's Harp.
