Description:
If any of these apply to you, then read more…..
Have you ever looked at Marimbas or Xylophones in the music stores and wondered…
“……How on earth can these instruments cost so much?”
because after all… they are just planks of wood siting on a frame, with resonating tubes to amplify the sound.
even schools prefer to spend it elsewhere…
That’s why I’ve created this solution for You…
Firstly, let me introduce myself.
My name is Jim McCarthy, and I’ve been a percussionist for over 20 years.
I’ve always had a passion for building things, and over the years I’ve had a LOT to do with building and designng marimbas especially for other people to build. I’d never consider myself a professional at woodworking or trades though – I’ve always been a musician first.
and this means that if I can build these projects… You can easily do it as well. You don’t need to do any of the design, thinking, hard work and making mistakes – I’ve already done all that for you!
When I studied for my masters degree I got really into Acoustics and learned all about how Marimbas were built – I even made some massive, world record bass marimbas to indulge my hobby…
But these days my goals are much more practical… I design instruments especially for people like you. It started years ago when I built a few instruments to assist my wife in her school music program. You may have seen the Project 1 Box resonated Xylophone, or the Project 2 mini-marimba which people all around the world are already building to save money for their schools, as well as being interesting to play and enjoy for children.
I’ve also built many other instruments in my time, from small xylophones to ultra large Bass Marimbas. What I’ve done is refined my building processes into step by step building guides for five instruments, The Simple Glockenspiel, The Box Xylophone, the Two Octave Mini Marimba, Three Octave Concert Marimba, the Three Octave Concert Vibraphone and more recently, the Pro Five Octave Concert Marimba
The great thing about these projects is that they will work for you, no matter what wood you have available – or in the case of the vibraphone and glockenspiel they will work really well with standard metal stock which is inexpensive and easy to get hold of in most parts of the world.
Concert quality marimbas are usually made from Honduras Rosewood or African padauk, and obviously the better wood you have access to the better instrument you’ll be able to make. However you can make these instruments from just about any hardwood (eg, Durian or Meranti).
This depends on which instruments you are building, and also on where you live. All of these instruments though are designed to use nothing but inexpensive materials which are commonly available in your average hardware store.
but here is a rough guide to materials cost for the various instruments.
And if you wish to make a better quality instrument you can of course invest in a better quality wood, such as Rosewood. This will cost you a few hundred dollars, but will still be way less than purchasing a real concert instrument.
YES! All the plans include both imperial (feet and inches) and metric (millimetres) measurements.
Absolutely not! I’m not a carpenter – I’m a musician. Most of the skills required are fairly basic woodwork – measuring, cutting and sanding.
Even if you’ve hardly ever picked up a hammer or a saw in your life I’m confident that you’ll be able to achieve a workable instrument using these plans. Of course I’ve picked up a few clues over my time designing and building instruments, but I’ve put all the important construction tips in the package for you.
Absolutely not! All of the tools you will need are common houshold tools.
Plus a few other bits and pieces commonly found around the garage!
BUT… if you don’t have access to one, don’t worry – as I’ve included a full set of sine waves (clear and clean tones) that you can use to tune the notes by ear. If you have a musical ear it is really easy to do it this way.
The short answer: It certainly can do!
Of course if you are saving extra money by using a cheaper timber for the bars then you can’t expect them to sound like one of the traditional timbers used for marimbas. And of course the final sound will also depend on the care and precision with which you make and tune your bars. BUT… particularly with the P524 or PV guide which are designed for fully professional instrumets – ALL the information you need to make your marimba or vibraphone sound exactly like a commercial one, is supplied in your building guides.
The fact is that it makes very little difference!
Comercial instrument manufacturers will often TALK about the sounds of different resonator materials – they want to make their instruments seem more special – BUT have you EVER seen anybody publish an actual audio comparison?
and think about it……The resonator’s job is to amplify the sound – and it does this by containing a column of air which is the correct size to resonate when sound waves from the bar enter it.
So… does the column of air really care what is containing it? or does it even know? Remember it’s the column of air that is vibrating.. not the container, so what it’s made from really makes very little difference!
and I’ve heard people argue that certain materials are a little harder and reflect sound better than others – well this is true… but here’s the thing…
Extra hard metals etc only make a difference at quite high frequencies – the frequencies way above the range of the vibraphone. Only the upper harmonics of the vibraphone are in this frequency range – and guess what… these upper harmonics are actually tuned to NOT resonate in the tubes!!!
The plans included for this instrument use PVC pipe for the resonators because:
And you can get PVC pipe at just about any hardware store, as it is usually used for drainpipes around just about any home! Of course – if you really want to use different materials for your resonators, there’s absolutely nothing stopping you. The building guide still tells you how to get the result you are after.
Absolutely not! You have instant access to the e-books and videos via download, so that you can get started immediately. The plans print out in Adobe Acrobat Reader (which nearly every computer already has installed).
Of course you see the value in getting all of these Instrument Building bluprints, so I have a special offer for you….
The Total Building package contains:
The mallet making e-book guide contains step by step instructions on how to make your own mallets for mallet percussion instruments.
You have FULL access to:
It took me nearly ten years to build up the skills to effectively tune bars and design instruments that worked, and this prototype is now actually my personal concert instrument. That’s how I know these plans work.
Obviously I can’t build the instrument for you, and your success is going to be determined by a little bit of your own efforts.
If however, you feel that my plans are at fault and they don’t work for you then simply contact clickbank within 56 days for a full refund of the purchase price of these building guides – no questions asked. In fact I insist! I don’t want your money if you can’t successfully use them to make your own instruments.
And remember that you don’t even have to do it yourself…
…you can easily give the plans to an enthusiastic wood-worker to do as a project, or you can even use it as a school class project!
So… You won’t regret it, and this will be one investment that could save you thousands of dollars!
See you on the next page!
P.S. There’s no gimmicks here – just real information that you won’t find anywhere else!
P.P.S. This is definitely for you if you want a whole range of professional mallet instruments and still have a budget to spare!
P.P.P.S. This is a tiny price to pay for a system that will save you thousands of dollars, so click here to get started.
The informational products available at makeamarimba.com and buildavibraphone.com are designed to give the user all the information required to build the corresponding instruments to the same level and finish as the original prototypes pictured on the websites. The final results produced by the end user are naturally dependent partially on their own abilities and efforts. Some of the skills and techniques described in the building guides may require the end user to practise a little before a high proficiency is achieved. This is an expected part of the building process. Once these skills are sufficiently achieved however, the end user if using due care, should be able to build an instrument for a significantly lower cost than that of any commercially equivalent model.
