The Marimba is ready

The resonator tubes were finally mounted today. A stiff wire with a loop was used to hang each tube beneath the bar. This makes maintenance and adjustment very easy!

 

The view from above shows  the two "alternative" suspension methods: Rubber foam feet for the bars, stiff wire for the tubes.

Here is a closup. The loop of the wire stabilizes the bar and prevents swinging. At the bottom of the tube, the wax can be seen.

 The resonator tubes form a nice arc.

Here it is!

:) :) :) The sound is really cool now, it definitely sounds like a marimba :) :) :)
