              <text>Grainger used this marimba for performances of his &lt;em&gt;Tribute to Foster&lt;/em&gt;, exploiting the design innovation that enabled single notes and resonators to be removed from the instrument for playing individually. Grainger wrote instructions, such as ‘violin II, desk I on A# key’, on the side of many resonators, indicating which bar should be used by which string desk in the orchestra. The Rowland H. Mayland Company manufactured a wide variety of musical bells and novelties, including xylophones, pitched sleighbells, and marimbaphones.</text>
