The Bars - this is where everything begins. For now let me just state the basic components of a marimba and the materials you will need. However I can tell you I managed to construct my marimba with less than 200 dollars. As you can probably imagine, the total cost of the project will be heavily dependent on the builder's creativity and the availability of supplies.

Before you rush out to Lowe's think first and make sure you couldn't use something else instead. for this reason, the mallet I chose was a little too hard for the lowest note, and a little too soft for the highest note.īy all means, get creative! Use whatever materials you might have laying around to complete this project and don't be afraid to borrow power tools from your neighbor. Some notes about the included audio recording: The marimba was playing using the same mallet across the entire five octave range. This is an extremely ambitious project and will likely takes a year or two for the average individual (like me) to complete. (The keys are made from an oak tree which was struck by lightning several years ago!) I hope this instructable will inspire others but I want to give a word of warning. Use whatever supplies are available to keep the cost low. The goal: build a five octave marimba, without spending a fortune. So I decided against all common sense I would build one. I wanted a very large five octave marimba but didn't have the money to simply purchase one (7000+ dollars).

Though I loved percussion, I had no way of practicing at home. I am a mallet percussionist who loves the marimba. In fabrication I got help from one family member who helped rough cut some of the bars. I used this website to get some basic information on how wide and long to cut the marimba bars. Let me start by explaining where and from whom I got help.
