what kind of mallets did u use.

[msmcsmm]

they were dowel rods with little rubber balls on the end - like the kind you get in a candy machine...everything had to be homemade since it was science olym.

[trophymursky]

actually we were able to video it playing today so it will be up shortly together, but now i can tell its clearly an octave to high.

[msmcsmm]

well let me know when you post it, i would like to see it.

[trophymursky]

what state, in pa i got second and first was a bass marimba and guitar, a school also built a violin that was almost reel but their bass instrument was chimes and they got 5th.

[msmcsmm]

this was Georgia - i'd like to see your video of the marimba and bass harp.

i know that it dosen't matter any more but think you should have made yarn mallets

[grunge9393]

omg i dont like that

[trophymursky]

yea i just used a circle cutter on a piece of pine and rapped it in yarn.

[trophymursky]

i posted me by myself, check my profile.

ya i never got to shoot the video of them together, it kinda did bad at nats cause the marimba was apparently an octave to high but it would have gotten 2nd if it weren't for that but o well, tomorrow i will have a video of the marimba by it self.
