The biggest xylophone in....Brittany....maybe

I am very excited. As part of the Singing Steel project, Mysweet is creating some new instruments for me to play on stage. I wanted some low notes. And it looks like they are in the pipeline...Literally:

I think it is going to have its own legs too, which is what all those sparks are about. I can't help thinking that it will need some pretty sturdy ones...

I can't wait. I've got twitchy mallets...

An instrument maker-husband! I knew about the drums but this is a new venture? And I'm glad to hear you are well enough to be itching to make music again.

Something wonderful to bang on. Very exciting.

m-l this is an experimental model just for me (and drummer boy) to play for a new show.
Z I expect I will be banging on about it as well. It got a good old bashing this afternoon at a rehearsal, but now it has been confiscated with a view to rebuilding certain aspects...

That metal xylophoney (glockenspiely?) thing looks very beautiful.

Did you know Iso wears a kooldrum strapped to her back to be a snail? It gets played too...
