Attaching the A Pipe for a Xylophone

So, the next thing that we're going to do is attach the A to our xylophone bar. And you do this by again threading it through. I'm going to thread the needle here. Just like that. Thread it through the bar. Taking our two ends and go right over left and under. Again it's very important to make the square knot. Because if you don't make the square knot then it could move on you. Then you'll lose your measurement. Or, even worse, the knot will slide all the way to the end of the rope and you will lose your whole connection. So I remember we have about two inches of give. I'm trying to replicate that. Let's see how we turned out. Very good. We're right on track.
