Description
<p class="font_8">Marimbas are a type of musical instrument originally developed in western Africa. They use wooden 'keys' which are tuned to specific notes similar to a xylophone.</p> <p class="font_8">We designed and constructed 7 marimbas for use by the music teacher at KVR Middle School. She was using these to teach up to 5 classes per day during the school year.</p> <p class="font_8">The next phase of this project is to construct the long tube resonators that amplify and enhance the sound.</p>
