Tuning the B Pipe for a Xylophone

So next we're going to tune our B. To do that we're going to get it through with the thread. Now we're going to see about what pitch we're at. We're going to play it. Now we're going to play a B. Wow, I think we might have got very lucky. We're just a very bit too low. So, we're going to take a little bit off. But not too much because we're really close. Hook our grinder in. I love it when things just work out like that. Work out just the way you want them to work out. Alright. Now, I can see that it's a little rough here. So, I'm just going to smooth out the inside so I don't cut myself on it. Then I'm going to test out that note one more time. I'm just going to put it through here. I think we're right on. I'm going to string it one more time to double check, see if we've got a pure pitch. OK, we've strung it. Just give it a play. Right on, we did it.
