Get inspired with 4 school visitation packages from Bourne M!

The cost of shipping big marimbas can be daunting! Why not ship US instead?

We can deliver hands-on, active learning .... AND real marimbas for your school! Consider our 4 visitation "packages" and contact us with your ideas - we'll tailor a visitation to the needs of your school.

Bourne Marimbas has travelled to Antigua, Portugal and Amsterdam, and across America for dozens of school-based building experiences.

I love flow charts and have created one to represent my process of building a soprano marimba.

This flow chart would be a fun thing to track as one watches my video "Crafting Your Marimba" which was made for me by Isiah Corey and is now approaching 275,000 views on Youtube.

Late Notice! 3-Day Marimba Building Workshop, Feb 1-3
We'll start Friday afternoon at my Bellingham shop, potentially going into the evening. Then we'll continue through Saturday and Sunday to complete a 3 1/2 octave box resonator marimba. No tubes included on this project, since it's a box resonator, BUT we'll have 3 1/2 octaves worth of bars to get tuned in hands-on fashion. The building of the box is a challenging bit of cabinetry with a lot of woodworking skills at play.

$300 to attend, the instrument we will build IS sold. Contact me if interested in attending, this is at my workshop in Bellingham, WA USA. [email protected]
