Xylophone kits @ Carbatec
I just happened to stumble across the Carbatec website where this new product has been featured:
http://www.carbatec.com.au/xylophone-kits_c22682
Just wanted to see if anybody has seen or built one and what the feedback would be.
Thanks

To be fair they do explain that a little further on ......
"* This style of instrument is popularly known as a xylophone. However, its proper name is glockenspiel or metallophone because the bars are metal (not wood)."
I would actually prefer to make a xylophone with the wood bars.
Now it has twigged my interest a quick search came across this which would be cool for my 2 year old:

That looks interesting , $45.00 is cheap enough - I might try to get over and pick one up when I get a chance.
There is a place round Botany that used to have Bamboo kits - but they were expensive
