I'd imagine permanent magnets would be involved, which could alter the character of the tones, but i feel like the trade off could be worth it if you had like five hundred thousand dollars to burn

I mean, technically it would probably work, although it might impede the performance of the resonators. I know it's done with Glockenspiels, but you do have to be a bit careful, because not every tonal percussion instrument is just bars sitting in a tray and marimbas in particular have resonator tubes underneath each bar..
