Would it be possible to share how you made your xylophone shelves? What braces/wood did you use? What were your dimensions (Width/depth of shelf, distance between shelves). I don’t really have a budget from my school so want to make the shelves so students can access the instruments without me having to pull them off high shelves.
Many thanks for your help.

In reply to Denise M. YES! I ordered these at my last school but have been unable to find them again. Does anyone know which company offers these?

Hi Drue,

Do you have plans or specs on the xylo shelf that you built?

I would love to be able to explain it to my custodian with specifics..

wood used, braces used, basic dimensions, etc.

Thank you!

Hi Drue, I know this is a decently old article, but do you have any additional articles/suggestions on storing unpitched percussion? I LOVE these ideas for the barred instrumentation, and I hope to utilize them someday soon when my school purchases more.

In reply to Steven Fackenthall. Sorry this is a late response! I must have missed this somehow! What are you looking for in terms of elaboration? I'm not sure what information you are looking for.
