Hey all. I'm a relative newby to GarageBand (I honestly prefer Finale/Sibelius, as I like to write sheet music), but I was struck with a brilliant musical idea that some would say has a "steampunk" sound.

Some of you may or may not be familiar with steampunk; that's ok. For those of you who are, would you happen to know any plug-ins that would give me a good selection of mechanical/clock noises, noises that sounded like they came from a machine in the 1850s? I've been looking everywhere, but can't find one. >.<

Thanks for the help all...I appreciate it!

I would say instead of looking for an instrument, look for samples of the actual thing.

Good idea...that's a good starting place. Hadn't thought of that. ^_^
