Jerry's Rules for vacuuming


  1. Plug the vacuum into only one outlet per level of your house.
    1. If the cord doesn't allow the vacuum to reach all of the level then it probably doesn't need to be vacuumed.
    2. The next time you vacuum try a different outlet, but remember only one outlet per level. 
  2. If there is something on the floor that the vacuum misses, keep going over it but NEVER pick it up with your fingers.
    1. If it can't be vacuumed it probably belongs there.
    2. Everybody has a job to do. Mine is to push the vacuum. The vacuum's job is to pick things up.

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
