NEWS UPDATES.

Gmail has deleted ALL my emails - twice. They are no help in recovering them, though I have tried, and reached out to them, twice. If you have recently sent me a message, can you kindly do so again to len7310@icloud.com. I have also changed the contact form to that address as well. icloud works fine.

Secondly. My wife and I are arranging to move back to Victoria, to Leongatha in SE Gippsland.

Our house is on the market at the moment, and so building marimbas will be subject to workshop availablility for this year - 2025.

It is most likely that supply will remain the same, but there may be delays, depending on packing/moving/setting up etc. If you are after a marimba, please just use the contact form and I will let you know what stage we are at.

Thirdly - due to the variance of sound with pipe resonated marimbas, I have (possibly temporarily) removed all pipe resonate marimbas from the sales list.

Still available are the Box Resonated, The Mini Marimba and the Levi.

I am investigating more suitable pipe resonated marimbas - one called 'The Lowrider' in the USA, andanother option for a baritone model. I will post here once I have the details and they are for sale.

Limiting the range will also assist with being able to supply during the moving phase.

If you have any questions on models and supply, please use the contact form below.

ALSO

Personal and School Use

My marimbas are perfect for both personal and school use, with a range of models and sizes available to suit your requirement.

Presently I am making the Box Resonated, Bass, Baby Bass, The Levi and Mini Marimbas.

If you are after other styles, it may be worth your while to send me an enquiry, as I be able to accommodate your request.

And let's not forget

Shipping Available Australia-Wide

Shipping costs are quite expensive now - but I also travel to Victoria with a vehicle around four times a year.

It can be quite cost-effective to add them to my voyage booking on the Spirit of Tasmania. Contact me - you will be pleasantly surprised, I think!

Although I am located in Tugrah, Tasmania, I offer shipping Australia-wide for an additional cost, so you can enjoy the sound of a Marimba Australia marimba no matter where you are.

Please enquire regarding freight via the contact form.

SOME DIFFERENCES

Unique differences with my marimbas

• Bars use 'Boomwacker' colours - to integrate with some other classroom instruments.

• Legs fold for storage and have restraining chains for safety - especially when moving them around the classroom or school (the Baby Bass has fixed legs)

• Pins going through the bars are on the opposite side to the player - this dramatically helps to stop the bending of pins when a player rests on the bars

• Extra large wheels can be installed by request- for moving the marimba across courtyards etc

Marimba Australia is perhaps the main manufacturer of marimbas in Australia, with a commitment to producing great quality instruments for personal and school use.

Located in Tasmania, I use local materials to create a sound that is what you are looking for in your classroom.

Bars are made from the best available selection of Tasmanian Oak.

I aim to tune to approximately 4 cents sharp on a note (4/100ths) - however remember that timber was once a living thing, and changes over time - changes in the temperature will especially affect the pitch to some degree. I tune as close to 21 degrees Celsius as possible.
