What wood is best for xylophone?
What is the best wood for Xylophone? – Honduran Rosewood – Other Rosewoods are used as well as alternative woods but the rare Honduran variety is considered the best as the choice of professional Xylophone makers worldwide due to its high density, elasticity factor, and a low damping coefficient.
Can you make your own xylophone?
You can use wood or electrical metal tubing to make your own xylophone at home. If you measure the xylophone's materials and put it together carefully, a homemade xylophone can work just as well as storebought options.
How do you make a homemade xylophone for kids?
WHAT TO DO: Cut your tubes so that you have 5 different lengths (about 1″ difference in length between each tube). Start with your two smallest tubes and use a rubber band to fasten them together. Put the rubber band around one tube, twist it (so it makes a figure 8) and put the other loop around the next tube.
