Mayland & Son, New York, USA (instrument makers) Metal marimba, early twentieth century Description An account of the resource Grainger used this marimba for performances of his <em>Tribute to Foster</em>, 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.
