• Locate the height gauges on the inside
of each end-frame (audience side).
• Use these gauges to ensure that both
end frames are always at the same height.
USE A SOFT COTTON RAG OR TOWEL DAMPENED WITH WATER ONLY.
DO NOT USE FURNITURE POLISH on your marimba!
Most of this type of product contains silicone, which will damage the nish and
contaminate the wood.
THE MARIMBA SHOULD ONLY BE LIFTED BY THE END FRAMES.
• Lifting by the rails will cause the rails to come out of their slots.
• When the marimba is moved, pass carefully through doorways, over
doorjambs, electrical cords, and uneven surfaces.
