Happy Birthday Big Brother

Families refer to the children as Big Brother/Sister or Little Brother/Sister. My mother passed away in 2004 when I was 57 and she still referred to me as 'My Baby".  Regardless of science's theories of time whether it's relative, linear, constant or whatever, families seem to be caught in a Time Warp.

The box was made from plywood (which also acted as the resonators) and the bars were made from maple.  Since this was to be a true xylophone, the bars were all of equal width. Tuning was done by cutting the bars to different lengths and removing material from the bottom. Using a router I created a sort of 'stepped pyramid' instead of the traditional arc cut found on marimba or xylophone bars.  Cutting the underside is not only for tuning but it focuses the pitch and creates the characteristic overtones of the instrument. Since I wanted to play this with other 'Western' instruments, I chose to use a pentatonic scale of 2 2/5 octaves (C#,D#,F#,G#,A#,C#,D#,F#,G#,A#,C#,D#). Two people sit on either side of the instrument and strike the ends of
