Expertise
*DO NOT* *ASK* *PIANO* *OR* *ORGAN* *QUESTIONS*!!!
KEYBOARD PERCUSSION *ONLY*: Marimba, Vibraphone, Chimes, Bells, etc.
Please note that my specialty in this section is in keyboard playing as it pertains to keyboard percussion, such as marimba, vibraphone, glockenspiel, etc.Please, NO QUESTIONS REGARDING: serial numbers, appraisals, pricing, value, restorations, or when an instrument or device was made. Thank you!
Otherwise, I answer a variety of questions about mallet keyboard percussion instruments. I have multiple music degrees and years of experience in the field.When asking your question:
1. Please be clear in your message.
2. Provide actual question(s).
3. Please keep it short and concise.
4. Save my one-question-per-day for someone else if you can find the answer on your own.
And finally, please, again, *no* questions regarding: serial numbers, appraisals, pricing, value, restorations, or when a particular instrument or device was made.
I am only able to answer one question per day, if you have a question about anything other than keyboard percussion then please ask someone else in this category.
Thank you!!!
