Maker Faire Wayne County 2024
Marimba
Home: Ohio, United States
My son Jon and I created a 4 octave Marimba from padauk and oak wood planks using a benchtop CNC Router at Romich maker space in Creston, OH. Band and circular saws, a drill and a belt sander were also used. Each key was tuned manually using a digital tuner, sand paper and belt sander. The Marimba will be on display to try and video and instructions for building one will be available.
