Meant to do this ages ago but it slipped my mind.
Rob Vialle, whom i shared a workshop with for years started making a Bass Marimba for a friend of his, Max, some 18 months ago (if not more). Rob is an amazing cabinet maker, but the Marimba took him well out of his comfort zone. For one, they are huge, and secondly, they are very complicated and finely balanced machines. Anyway, after months of tinkering, tuning, retuning, construction, head straching.....and more head stratching, its done! And
Max is playing it TONIGHT. Not sure if there are any tickets left, but try, its sounds brilliant.
(Hope it all goes super, good and well)
