5-Spiral Xylophone

Private collection
in Mexico, 2022

The great outdoor installation combining five large, medium and small
Spiral Xylophones” designed to take advantage of the hilly topography and environment.
A ball rolling down 415 steps plays Bach’s music about 2 minutes and 30 seconds for a length of 50 m approximately.

This is the largest spiral xylophone in the KO-TONE series ever. It was made in Japan and installed somewhere in Mexico.
