<p>[QUOTE="all_fakes, post: 3059864, member: 55"]That would be a darn fancy marimba....my brother made a very big one once (it was approximately the size of a VW beetle, in two parts for transportation), and sold it to the Crusaders drill team in Seattle, who used it on a flat-bed truck in parades....but it was not for anything near that. His typical Zimbabwe-style marimbas were more like $500 at most...not enough to actually pay him for the time it took to make them, so he doesn't do it anymore.</p><p>But, I can't even be sure this is a marimba without more pics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
