My Mother was a member of the IMSO. I’d like to get in touch with anyone who might also have been part of that group.

Hello Everyone,
I am writing because I am looking for a 5 octave Marimba to rent. I was recently diagnosed with leukemia, as a result I have had to withdraw from the Manhattan School of Music for at least this semester. I am a percussion performance major and my specialty is marimba. I recently won the Manhattan concerto Competition and was scheduled to perform my piece with spring, but that as been indefinately postponed. My problem is that I desparately want to continue learning and growing as a musician, but I cannot find an instrument to practice on while I am recovering at home in Denver. If any knows where I can get info on renting a 5 octave marimba, I would greatly appreciate it. thanks to all.
There are a variety of options for marimba bar cord. Some prefer a softer cotton cord for less bar noise, some prefer a more durable nylon cord, and some use cord with a nylon or even wire core covered with a softer cotton sheath. The marimba manufacturers will sell bar cord at a high mark-up or you can purchase in bulk. One common version is parachute cord, available from military surplus stores. I recommend the kind that has seven internal strands, covered with a braided sheath. Also see www.cheaperthandirt.com — they have 100-, 300-, or 1000-foot spools in black or colors.

As I have stated before, server and the backup file got damages together and I have lost a lot of data. Notably, most recent concerts and announcements are gone.
Please post those again!
