Johnny P delivers again, straight from the Sepik River to your computer!
Great looking carve so far Johnny and the concept sounds like it should
sound just fine. It looks like the keys are set onto the opening in
the drum. If you want to try to get even more resonance you might
consider "stringing" the keys...sort of like an old jungle style
suspension bridge. I have a cheapie balafon drum which has the keys
strung over a simple stick frame and could send you some pics if you
are interested.

At any rate, the carving is great and don't pay any attention to me :)
Can't wait to see more progress!
