It sounds awesome. It sounds so awesome I think it should be plugged into a bass amplifier, a subwoofer, a PA system or a mixer.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Lol

[@brianharris7243]

Purrrfect!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you

[@dwaynewladyka577]

This project is just purrfect! Cheers!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

thank you

[@theregiment6236]

I do wish you showed the traditional method for those who don’t have a cnc machine, but overall great work! I thought using the bandsaw blade as the keys (prongs? I’m not sure what you call those) was super inventive!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you. If you don't have a CNC you can do it on the bandsaw like a bandsaw box. But you'll have to make it in three pieces. Back, body and top! You can use the vector files of the CNC as templates. I hope I helped!

Great project, and lovely finish. You actually do not need a cnc machine or a lathe to make this, but it sure helps

I've been binging your instrument builds, they're awesome! Have you ever tried building a keyed instrument like a hurdy gurdy?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you. Perhaps in future

When you made the hardware yourself it really got my attention! Great project! There's a kalimba set laying in one of the drawers somewhere, totally forgot about it... now I remember!

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Thank you

[@heyimamaker]

Cute :)

[@4THECRAFT]

2:07 πάει το λάπτοπ 😀😀 σοβαρά τώρα, τι κάνεις για την σκονη; έχεις dust collector η συνδέεις τα εργαλεία με ηλεκ. σκούπα; Επίσης πολύ καλή δουλειά όπως πάντα.

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Χαχα. Σκούπα. Το laptop είναι σκυλι

[@fredericthom8113]

And what about a cajon for go with great kalimba ?

[@ScrapwoodCity]

I want to make one at some point. Although I am not into percussion instruments. We’ll see

[@HBSuccess]

All you need is a CNC rig and some basic metal machining equipment. 😂

[@ScrapwoodCity]

;)

[@nikospanther1297]

Γειά σου μάστορι

[@ScrapwoodCity]

Γεια σου κι εσένα :)

[@eross21]

what kind of steel did you use for the tines?

[@willybee3056]

It would appear that he used hacksaw blades for the tines.

[@eross21]

Willy Bee i must have skipped past that part in the video. that would make sense though. it is very springy. thanks for the help

[@eliolira6113]

What music was that

[@ScrapwoodCity]

A tune I created for the video

[@eliolira6113]
