I have owned this marimba since 1970. I used it though college and then played it very little since then with the exception of playing it in church on occasion. I do know that it has Rosewood bars. I had the black cushions replaced a while back. I do have pics.
I would love to find a good home for this instrument. It is a very nice instrument and projects very well.
The condition is very good. The reason I would not rate it excellent is that is has a stain on a couple of the bars from its past before me (I think it belonged previously to a Tijuana Brass type band). It also has some dings on the black ends but that would be expected for its age.
I have really enjoyed owning it but am downsizing a bit and don't think it will work for me to keep it anymore.

We have a high school son who is an advanced percussionist and is looking for his own marimba to use beginning this summer to prepare for district and state band/orchestra auditions, etc.

We are very interested in buying him a used, although decent, instrument.

Could you tell me where you are located and the price range? We are in Pennsylvania but do have family in a few other locations.

Thank you for any help.
