How can I melt down copper pipe?


A friend gave me some extra copper pipe that he had from a job and I decided to melt it down and make a decorative wind chime for my grandmother

My question is.. how can I get a heat source to melt down copper? The material has a melting point of almost 1100 degrees Celsius. Is there something I can buy that will help me with this? I just want to get the pipe hot enough to make it ply able so I can etch decorations for the wind chime.

Copper’s melting point is 1,984 degrees Fahrenheit.
