anyway, the sound is good !!!
Thank you guys !

At room temperature, the thermodynamically stable crystal structure of 304 stainless steel is bcc; nevertheless, the alloy's nickel concentration, as well as the small amounts of manganese (about 1 percent), carbon (less than 0.08 percent) and nitrogen (about 0.06 percent), maintains an fcc structure and therefore the alloy is nonmagnetic. If the alloy is mechanically deformed, i.e. bent, at room temperature, it will partially transform to the ferritic phase and will be partly magnetic, or ferromagnetic, as it is more precisely termed.
I got this info from the internet. So it looks like these LP Timbales must be made out of 304 stainless.

But most stainless is not. I believe of the ones that are, they have a very weak "magnetic" property, as opposed to iron or other steels. So don't freak out if your magnet sticks-- but barely--- it's probably still stainless.
