Nice! I built a similar instrument after seeing a bunch of TH-cam videos of buskers playing pvc pipe instruments....didn’t have any plans, used mostly 1 1/2in pipe used second hand parts from the local Habitat for Humanity store(biggest score was a huge number of pvc elbows at 25 cents apiece!). I probably spent less that $150 on the whole thing. I wish i’d known about the pipe cutter...I used a chop saw, so lots of non biodegradable dust. You can make the whole thing more compact by using more elbows, good to know if you plan on transporting it much. You can see some videos of me playing it on my channel.

Yes, the lengths of the pipes are the cut length. The elbows add additional length. If you have more questions, contact me at colin.joyemusic@gmail.com!
Hello good sir, A little question we are building a slapaphone for a schoolproject and we were wondering how you did the math for the lengths of the pipes because we have tried everything but our calculations dont match our frequency measurements. Could you maybe help us by going more in depht on how you got your lenghts of the pipes?
Yeah, this book has the calculation and tables: amzn.to/31hJxNp . Basically, the length needs to double every octave lower you go, and an octave is 12 notes, so that's a multiplying factor of 2^(1/12)=1.05946 longer for every note lower you go. Elbows and couplings behave a little be differently (corrections are in the book too). But you want to make it a little bit longer and then trim them to tune them in. Beware that the air temperature matters too!!
Well, I just finished off written plans with all the drawings and diagram for sale. I just need to get some printed and bound. I also plan to have it available in electronic format on Amazon within the next month. I'll make a follow-up video about it.

The Amazon book addresses both questions (links in description above). Yes, the costs of raw PVC have gone up a lot in the last few years, so it's probably on the order of $250 now to build one.

There are a few suggestions for constructing marimbas Attend a school or self-study via an online course Ensure you are fully committed to it before you start (I learned these and why they work on Delfords Magic Plan website )
You mean "rock" -- It actually feels pretty sturdy. Of course, the PVC is quite heavy and the mallets (sandals) are light, so there's not a significant deflection when you play it.
JoyeMusic.com Mine is much smaller scale Had to be. Chose open notes for a standard bass tuning for 2” Then one full octave for 1.5” pipe. What was the wood depth for your head holder board 1”?

Yes, 1" x 4" x 72' will work, but be careful to adjust any other pieces that were counting on the extra 1/4" thickness. At home depot, it's called 5/4" (not 1.25" or 1-1/4") select pine. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Hi, your Tubulum is our Memorial Day project with our grandson. We have your book. Just a couple questions: I'm not figuring out how the pipes fit together in order. [1] is the highest note (F), right? Then [2] is F# and [3] is G, yes? Then once the pipes start being made of multiple sections and elbows, what order does the numbering follow? The shopping list calls for an FF elbow 45°, but the quantity os 0. What's the correct quantity? We are having tons of fun. Thanks for putting the plans together!

Hi, I'm the author of the Tubulum Instruction book.... Yes, the "0" for quantity of 45-deg F-F elbows is correct to build the tubulum as I built it. I only used 90-deg elbows. Some people might want to use a 45-deg elbow in place of 90-deg in some cases, so I included that so you could see the part number. Sorry, it does look like a mistake, though (like it shouldn't be zero), and it's not explained.
HI good job. Would you be willing to make me one and Ill buy it from you? I want one so bad. I just dont have a lot of time with my 3 kids. or I would make one. If I cant get anyone to make one for me I will do it I guess lol I wouldnt need one that looks fancy or anything . thanks :)
