I just now learned what this instrument was and came here to hear it. The picture I saw showed a wooden xylophone-like instrument and from that picture I expected a dull, hollow sound like bamboo chimes. I never expected such a vibrant sound from a wooden instrument. Amazing.

You can actually get a good sound like this from bamboo as well, but not the chimes

This is just what I needed. I came across a type of tree called Chinese Flame Tree that grows fast and all over as an invasive species in Florida. Unlike most such trees, this one produces a fairly heavy, hard wood that is one of the best tone woods for percussion I have ever heard (at least anything free!). So I will try to save and dry some to make a xylophone, but I do not know how to make a balafon! I need to finish making some traditional style flutes first...

Did you build it? Today I am gluing the ending holder on a lyre I am building! If you have not built this instrument yet, I cannot emphasize enough how worth it it is!

Qui, comme moi n'a pas envie que ça s'arrête ?

Merci beaucoup pour cette perle, ça m'a touché au plus profond de mon coeur 🙏🏽

Thank you so much for this beautiful music !

This is a nice relaxing song if your frustrated it could calm you down

Played this in college for a performance in our West African Drum Ensemble class! Such a cool sound

Beautiful! Beautiful! Message from Brazil!😃

C'est trop beau!

Je ne m'y connais pas vraiment,mais je trouves que 'est joli à entendre.

Excellent. When I watch this, I can't help thinking that someone like Roy Ayers would draw inspiration from watching a balafon solo

The sound is UNBELIVEBLE

Waouh! C'est tout simplement magnifique

When I lived in Boston, I remember hearing this instrument played by a white guy named David Gilden. He would amplify it through a small battery-powered amp and perform for travelers on the subway. He also played the kora, and the two sounds complemented one another.

i found a 7 note balafon in a garage sale and love the sound, but with this many notes it sounds even more gorgeous. I love the way the notes sizzle a bit like distortion

J'aime bien ! 👍👏"Mer-Sea" pour la vidéo.
