Eric made this great P3 marimba for his daughter. He has made a few small modifications like better diagonals etc, but mostly he built it perfectly according to the P3 marimba building guide.

"Hello Jim,

I've finished the marimba from the plans that I purchased from you online. What a great time it was building it with my kids. I used Red Oak for the framework and Paduak for the keys. I destroyed a couple keys before I got the hang of it but in the end I think it sounds really great. My daughter uses it daily to practice and I love hearing it. I made a couple small changes but overall it's per your design. I am hoping to purchase the P524 plans and get started on that soon as well. Thanks for putting these plans together, I would have never attempted it without them. It's a wonderful instrument and it's very exciting that we made it ourselves.

Thank you!

Eric and Sovereign Tindall"
