Marimba

Hey to all those bloggers out there,
today im gonna blog about the Marimba the Marimba is part of  the percussion family.The cleft that the  Marimba plays in is mostly the Treble clef.It was brought by the African slaves to South America in the early 16th century and the first portable Marimba was made by Jose Chaequin and Manuel Lopez and was introduced to the public in Guatemala in 1874.They both were from the United States New york city.Yes the Marimba can make high pitched and low pitched sounds because the shorter the bar the higher the sound will be and the longer the bar it will be lower.You make a sound out of this instrument is you strike it with a mallet made out of yarn and the sound is made by the tubes on the bottom of the wooden peice that you strike with the mallet.You assemble this instrument by putting the legs on the frame and conecting the keys to the the frame on the top of the frame.he way you clean this instrument is with a damp cloth.The way you maintain it after your done using it  then put it in a case but first you got to put the keys in the key holder then the legs can go on top of the case when your done with it.
