that I've been making.
I did this because,
I wanted to get accurate
musical notes,
according to particular measurements
that I was thinking of.
So, here are the resulting
musical instruments.
The first one,
is made from lengths
of 1 inch / 2.54 cm diameter dowel,
pine wood.
Cut into 12 lengths
of 1 inch / 2.54 cm increments,
the first is 1 inch / 2.54 cm long,
and the last is
12 inches / 30.48 cm long.
The second,
is made from lengths
of 0.95 cm diameter dowel,
Tasmanian Oak wood.
Cut into 12 lengths
of 0.95 cm increments,
the first is 12.35 cm long,
(0.95 cm + 11.40 cm)
and the last is
22.80 cm long.
The hammers are made from
a 2.5 cm diameter wooden craft bead,
with a 5 mm hole drilled through,
and,
a 5 mm diameter wooden craft dowel,
15 cm long.
I have them sitting on some felt,
which helps to dampen any sound
from the table surface.
I've tried them out,
and they don't work too badly :)
Now, to play a few tunes ............. :)
