Does it have anything to do with music?

Not arrow points.

Highly unlikely to be associated with music, unless someone has invented a new way of powering musical instruments (first hint).

Some are hollow, some are not. The important thing is the outside shape (second clue).

Not for uranium fuel rods.

Celttooth is getting sort of close. Next clue: you use these to prepare something that might get very carefully placed into a "hole".

They come in a range of diameters, from fractions of an inch up to 6 or 8 inches (5mm to 20 cm). Those are just the ones I've used, they may come even larger.

Not a muffler, nothing to do with depleted uranium or rapid burning fuels.

Carlos, I used to work with a guy who wore bolo ties while using these. But they are not part of the tie.

Celttooth, I used them in a very different industry, but probably for a similar purpose. Keep posting, you might help others with your knowledge.
