Auris Marimba, 8 Note

• The heavy acacia sound bars are mounted on a stable fir platform, creating a clean, strong and low resonant sound.
• The Marimba can be easily dismantled for travel and easy transport.
• Comes in a box with two mallets

This kind of instrument reaches back into antiquity. Originally stone bars were used which were then replaced with wooden bars and much later a resonance body. The resonance body increases the duration of the sound and the volume.

• The instrument was brought to Africa through East Indian trading people and to Latin America with the slave trade.
• It is also said that the Celtic people used a relative of the marimbas and xylophones called a Lithophon (litho=stone) and also used an Amadinda made out of wood.
