I think you're talking about what in my experience is usually called a
"tongue drum".
Something like this?

If so, then googling on "tongue drum plans" with or without the quotes
should get you a lot of choices.

Fine Woodworking ran a plan years ago, and it's reprinted in one of
their reprint books. Searching this newsgroup (try "tongue drum" too)
will find an old post of mine, probably some others too, that describes
which issue it was and gives enough construction details to make one.
They make great gifts. They're easy to make, they look good at first,
and you don't have to listed to the damned thing afterwards!

Does anyone have any good info on how to produce specific notes (or at
least a relative tuning)?

Try http://www.woodworking-online.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=18294
I seem to remember an article mentioning sanding or carving away the
back of each finger to adjust the sound also.
