Make A Marimba
      #41171 - Fri Dec 14 2007 11:00 PM (64.252.108.246)

Greetings,

I post on the drum section of Tiger's site. James will recognize my avatar.

A long time ago I got on a mailing list from a guy in OZ.

This is his drum site: http://percussionclinic.com/

Check out what he just sent out:

http://www.makeamarimba.com/

He's claiming you can make a marimba for about $500 US dollars.

On first glance, this makes me want to get into mallets!

Will be curious to see what the feedback here is!

- Jerry

Hi, Jerry - good to see you in this corner of town! :)

Thanks for the link! I'll have to check it out while we're snowed in (?) this Sunday.
