This joker beat me to the solenoid xylophone project I was planning for this Christmas! Now what will I do?

    Build a better and cheaper one: Use cut pieces of 1/2" steel conduit from Lowes, strike them with a harder mallet, hang them vertically, provide more bars, pre-program more songs, provide modulated striking force for dynamic range. Come on, erco, you can do it!

    Come on Erco, of all people you should know a xylophone is made of wood, so you still have a chance.

    Yes, xylophones are well and good but Marimbas are made from wood and magical!!

    There's still hope yet for the perfect synthesis of music and machine!

    Woe is me, for I have been undone. The end is near!

    Don't worry that wasn't a xylophone it was a Glockenspiel
