I was inspired by the lady playing the Frank-O-Phone/jade music maker/lithosomething so I thought I would throw one together. WRONG. Not as easy as I thought. The way I have it set up now some of the jade pieces do not ring like the could so I have to try another way. I have an idea but it is going to take a little time to get it put together. One reason for the delay is the fact that I have lost the heavy gauge aluminum wire that I need for my new idea.
I believe that the problem is the cord cinched tight around the stone killing some of ability to vibrate. I am totally music illiterate so that doesn't help matters at all. I did not have enough pieces long enough from the stones that Frank gave to me and I had a problem coming up with other jade that is long enough. Strange, but I do not have even one piece of the Wyoming jade long enough to use either. Three of the pieces are from Frank though.
Babble, babble, babble. Sooo anyway here is what I have so far.
I will update this when the noise is a little better.
