Aren't those bars expensive..? :/ The poor xylophone that those rosewood bars were ripped off of.. Assuming it was actually a xylophone. Could've been a marimba.. Or the bars were bought separately?

[mrDominicwilcox]

@Marinbot The bars were made from scratch, please watch my 'Making of' video to see. No xylophone has triangular shaped bars.

[realninj4]

would not want to throw away something during a midnight snack!

I don't understand the point of this. It's not very cool looking, the sound it makes is annoying, it isn't fun.. Waste of time and a perfectly good xylophone.

this sucks ass

[MaxnMem]

can i please have this.

[stubbyt34]

apparently no one checked the pitches of the bars before nailing them to the can.

[Hirukaki]

I'm sorry, that would be so annoying to hear in the house after a day or two

[darthd95]

It would be possible to put the wooden "sticks" in an order that it plays a song!
