Hello marimba lovers!

I created this site to assist net people in finding out about marimba information.

Marimba.org was started a few years ago and was changed to the current format late last year (1998). The principal reason for making such a site was the difficulty in finding relevant information in search engines: when you search for marimba, you get a lot of information about Marimba Inc., a computer software related company. This annoyed me, and prompted me to obtain the "Marimba.org" domain name and open this site before the "Marimba Inc." organization took it.

This kind of site needs a lot of cooperation from its users. I thank those people who send me articles and update concert schedules; please continue to do so. Any people who want to help with this site are welcome. I hope this site proves to be useful for those people interested in the marimba.
