  however I couldn't find where they're selling bamboo ಥ_ಥ. The sound of xylophone still attracts me to make it. I'm making the wood xylophone. With the equipment was 8 pieces of 3/2'' wide, 1/2'' thick and the lengths were the smallest piece was 10'' bigger to the biggest piece was 15''.

                            When i finished, i realize it doesn't sound good at all, the sound was soft. Bring it to class, Mr. Tillay said i need a piece of metal or something separate them for when the stick hit the bar, the vibrating moving through the bar and produce the sound, not continue go to another wood make the sound lower....Okay, i made it wrong. ಥ_ಥ
