Abstract

This note describes a simple and inexpensive method of designing and constructing a musical instrument. Often teachers of the physical sciences are called upon to advise students who are designing musical instrument prototypes. This article discusses the relationship between frequency and tube length for hollow metal tube chimes. A method is explained by which a set of chimes may be designed and constructed so that they cover all standard tones for a range of one or two octaves. The cost of materials will range from $3 to $6.
