Take your time, get it restored and hang onto it. Those rosewood bars are scarce as hen's teeth because that wood has all been farmed. Also it's a beautiful piece of marimba history. I never trash or sell older lovely sounding instruments even if they are a little limited in range or ablilities by "modern" standards. Their sound is in many cases much better. I have always found, especially when recording, that a situation will arise where an older instrument literally by its sound gives a track exactly what the piece needs to turn the composition into gold.
