Abstract

The construction of the Marimba involves various processes that engage the use of carpentry knowledge. Existing researches by scholars have focused on the usage of local tools and only a few modern machines for the construction of the Marimba. This research thus aims at providing solutions to challenges encountered during the construction process of the marimba by using modern machines and technology to make the work more accurate, easier, and faster, thereby examining machines and digital apps that can be used in the tuning process of the marimba, and identifying the nuances involved in the construction process of the marimba.This research was hinged on the theory of technology, and African High Art Orchestra Company was purposively sampled as the research field. The review of relevant literatures, participant observation, interview and pictorial analytical methods were employed during the period of this research. The outcome of the research reveals that different apps could be adopted in the construction process of the marimba as well as different machines replacing tools that are used for its construction. The paper concludes that modern technology improves the fabrication processes of the marimba, making the work more productive, faster, and easier to handle.
