TUNING.
There are MANY poorly tuned marimbas and xylophones out there.
I know!
At my school I paid top dollar for some xylophones only to find that EVERY one of them sounded different.
When I checked them out, they needed final tuning.
So much for having commercially made xylophones!
So, if you have the same problem then here is the solution. I will come to your school and tune your xylophones or marimbas.
Salvage your precious instruments, and save a bundle.
My fee is $50.00 per hour, plus travel time, which is calculated from Tarneit, 3029.
(near Werribee).
If there are a few schools who book me, then the travel time is divided equally, no matter how many bars each school need fixing.
I can only work weekends, as I teach full time.

REPLACEMENT BARS
How sad to see a perfectly good instrument languish for the want of a bar which has been lost/broken/thrown at a naughty student.
I can manufacture any style bar, in whatever timber you request.
Some curves may be slightly different profile, but they will work, and they will be very close to the original shape, if not the same.
Prices depend on materials and quantities
Once an order is placed you will need to either draw the end profile of your instrument's bars, include the width and height measurements PLUS the length of each bar on either side of the missing one. I will need to know the hole size and position from the end of each adjoining bar, OR...
The simplest way is to photocopy the bars either side of the missing one with a ruler beside them, and one bar end to show the profile, and sent to me via email. Instant information, and I can do the measuring from there, best to also set your photocopier to 100%, just to be sure.
Bars prices will also include a packing and handling fee of $10.00, plus postage at Australia Post standard rates.
Express post, registered post etc. is available if requested.
