Making a Copper Pipe Xylophone

Video Transcript

In part two of How to Make a Copper Pipe Xylophone, we're going to talk about how we connect our notes to our xylophone bar. And, we're also going to talk about the kind of material that we want to use to do that. Why we picked the material we did use to do that and how long each note is going to be suspended from the bar. Since we are going to have our xylophone set up kind of like a chime instead of chimes. Then, what we're going to do next is we're going to start to make our cuts. We're going to cut the C, the D and the E note. Then, we're going to talk about and show you how to drill them and how to tune them so they're orchestrally tuned and can be played with any instrument in the exact same key. The other thing that we're going to do is we're going to talk about how to attach those and some techniques that we can use to really make it easier for us to get the notes attached to the xylophone bar since we are using a very attachment string and stringing it through very small holes to save the integrity of the sound and make a nicer instrument.
