Michael Greiner, a neighbor and good friend, asked me to upload several Marimba videos for him (that's him on the left in the middle row). He currently teaches the music program at Aveson Charter School http://aveson.org/ and constructs musical instruments in classes with students' participation.
Michael Greiner created this set of plastic pipe marimbas. On this clip are three generations of prototypes designed to be low cost for use by childrens' programming. The top one bass version costs around $200 in materials. The mallets are home made using foam flip-flops mounted to sticks. Filmed at Norma Coombs primary school in Altadena CA in 2007.
