Where can I find really cheap instruments (quality not important?

Making my own Musical Instruments for percussion?

  • I need to find Comprehensive Plans To Build my Own Xylophones, Marimbas, Vibraphones And Other Commercial Quality Percussion Instruments. anyone got any ideas?

  • Answer:

    Commercial quality ... no. You can make Marimbas and Xylophones from good quality hardwoods; you figure out the frames and the tunings. For Vibes you would need aluminum bars -- again with the tuning. I suppose you could find aluminum tubes for the resonators on the Marimbas and the Vibes, but you could also try PVC piping. The next bit that needs doing is a quiet variable speed motor and disks for the resonators on the vibes. It can be done, but by the time you get "commercial quality" you'll have spent more than the cost of a commercially available instrument. http://www.marimbaone.com/ http://www.musser-mallets.com/ http://www.jupitermusic.com/majestic/ http://www.adams-music.com/ ... and others.
