How to Make a Driftwood Xylophone

Experimental Musical Instruments founder Bart Hopkin shows how you can make a xylophone out of driftwood you find on the beach. This was shot on Drake's Beach in West Marin County, and the driftwood was humanely harvested. For more great examples of how to make your own musical instruments, please visit windworld.com.

Pretty Cool. Takes the scariness out of doing something on your own.

@musictheatrecoach Glad you are enjoying the video so much - I know that things are pretty tough for music teachers right now - heck, for teachers in general - so any help you can get from this makes me feel good. If you ever create your own Xylophone, please send a picture ... or even upload a video of yourself playing it!
