Brief概要
TONE SHAPED THROUGH WOOD
How can material thickness and unsupported length become a visible musical system?
The hand-built percussion toy studies how lamination thickness and the suspended overhang of each bar affect tone. The resulting set spans approximately C to A and includes an ergonomic mallet plus an integrated tray that keeps every component together for casual tabletop play.

EACH BAR IS BOTH FORM AND SOUND
The changing curve makes the acoustic variable legible before the instrument is played.
Bar thickness and overhang were adjusted together to differentiate pitch. Rather than hiding those differences in a conventional grid, the final composition overlaps the bars into one flowing field.

PLAY, STORE, AND DISPLAY
The stand is not packaging around the instrument; it completes the playing ritual.
Extensive manual and machine woodworking resolved the laminated bars, rounded tray, registration pegs, and shaped mallet as a coherent family. When play ends, every loose component returns to a visible position.

Resolved Object最终成品
A QUIET OBJECT WITH AN ACTIVE PURPOSE
The finished instrument reads as a wooden sculpture at rest and becomes animated through touch.
Natural grain, repeated curves, and a consistent edge treatment unify pieces whose dimensions were driven by different acoustic roles.
