A Marimba I built last year - took me a bit over half a year to complete. 61 keys made of Padauk, all hand-tuned, on a frame of Red Oak and Walnut (lemmy.ml)

Lemmy doesn't seem to have any popular woodworking subreddits, so I thought I'd post here. Just deleted my reddit account and want to contribute some content here!

The tube length is related to pitch but it doesn't control the pitch. The reason they're all different lengths is because different length tubes resonate at different frequencies. So the tube under each "key" (is that what they're called?) is designed to resonate specifically at the pitch produced by that key.
