'Make Your Own Wacky Instruments'. This is a collection of ideas for constructing a range of instruments out of cardboard tubes, plastic pipes and bits of wood etc.

Bass marimba

Marimbas
Our marimbas are inspired by African xylophones but redesigned for three standing players. The simple design means that you can make them yourself.

School Visits

Marimba Playing.
Jon visits schools and involves all the kids in playing marimbas, drums and wacky instruments. A grand performance completes the day.

Marimba Making.
In one day kids (9 and up) can chisel and tune the tone bars for one or two marimbas. The frames are usually made by parents.

Sales
Marimba Music sells six books. The four music books come with CDs. Within Australia we sell marimbas and sets of tone bars, beaters etc.

Echocellos
The echocello is a one-string keyed bowed instrument. A coil spring adds reverb to the sound.
