Xyladder

Posted new video unveiling my newest instrument, the Xyladder. It is a ladder xylophone, whereby the steps are the musical notes. Of course care had to be taken to design the ladder such that the steps were in line with the musical scale. This is rendition 2.0 - the first rendition had the steps attached to the ladder at each side, but this prevented the 'step' from vibrating properly. So this 2.0 rendition has the steps floating on a separate step frame, so they can vibrate freely, which gives a much nicer tone. Check out the video under the 'video' tab.
