• Always adjust the height of the marimba with rails, resonators and bars installed.
• Release the levers one end at a time.
• Always keep marimba ends at equal heights.
• Do not release the end levers at the same time.
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 finish and
contaminate the wood.

• Lifting by the rails will cause the rails to come out of their slots.
• When the marimba is moved, pass VERY SLOWLY through
doorways, over doorjambs, electrical cords, and uneven surfaces.
With time, the natural or accidental bars
may sag over the length of the marimba.
