Pentatonic Marimba [Client: Stuart J.]
NOTE: 12-Tone Chromatic Bass Marimba test instrument using IPE (Brazilian Walnut). (Only quartersawn cuts are selected. The perpendicular grain (while laying flat) is ideally at 90-degrees, but no less then 80 degrees.
(<-- Show cross-section end grain)
[Experimental: The test is to tune these bars and rate their vibrational characteristics in terms of sustain/ring time, tunability, and quality of overtone]
Due to its density and durabillity, this wood is typically used on outoor decks and especially on cruise ships.
