Thanks for this. I have an old busted premier marimba with fiberglass keys and a few are cracked. Maybe I’ll make a new set because the frame and resonators and still in decent shape. Although I am sure the tuning process was a nightmare!

How did you finish the keys?
This old blog has all the info you’ll need http://www.lafavre.us/tuning-marimba.htm
I used a bandsaw or router to cut out the rough arc, then a belt sander to fine tune
Oh thanks but I meant like did you stain them or use oil on them or whatever ha
Ah, I did a double coat of tung oil!
