Michael Burritt discusses the Malletech MJB Signature Marimba – an instrument he first approached Malletech about creating for him in 2010. He wanted tunable resonators, but with more highs on the highs and more lows on the lows. He wanted a new deco/space-age/wind-swept/tough-guy Harley look, but with traditional furniture quality wooden ends that would look great on a concert stage or in his living room. Recorded at the 34th Leigh H. Stevens Summer Seminar in 2013. Michael Burritt is a performer, composer and educator. He is also Professor of Percussion and head of the department at the Eastman School of Music
