From this wood, small elongated
blocks are carefully cut out with
hatchets-a saw would harm them
and submitted to a slow drying pro-
cess.
When the wooden frame,-a sort of
long topless table in the shape of
trapezoid-is ready, the Stats or keys
of wood which have been cut in ac-
cordance with a scale Of prescribed
dimensions and then polished and
tuned to a certain pitch very much
like the ones used for the piano are
laid on it in a given order.
Under these are placed sounding
boxes made Of cedar-which have re-
placed the gourds used for this pur-
pose in more primitive instruments
land at the lower end of which a thin
membrane is stretched over small
hole.
| The sound waves that come from
the upper part of the sounding box
when the key is struck, decend caus-
ing the membrane to vibrate which
accounts for that soft melodious tone
characteristic of the marimba. Final
~ the playing sticks are about eigh-
teen inches long, of flexible wood and
with round head made of strips of
fraw rubber.
The marimba has, as rule, range
of five octaves. 1t is not exclusively
a one-man instrument, some being
large enough TO be played by two or
more persons. The amazing skill, pre-
cision and cleyerness with which the
Central American artists play the
marimba is always an object of ad-
fmiration to foreigners.
There are families, especially a
round Quetzaltenango, second largest
city of Guatemala, in which the con-
structing and playing of marimba
has become hereditary.
Although it is often very crude and
particularly adequate for popular
tunes, the marimba has also been used
to render semi-classical and even
sometimes classical music.
1t sound blends itself particularly
we'll with string instruments and it is
frequently played not only with ac-
compartment of guitars but also of
violins and bass.
The marimba is known in some
South American countries such as
Colombia and Ecuador but it is really
the typical instrument of Central
America. Nothing will evoke Guate-
mala or FL Salvador better, nothing
will set the heart of their people beat
/ ing and the feet of their people dane
ing, as the distant notes of marimba.

Central American Natives Thrill
To Enchanting Rhythm OF Marimba

Nothing can take the place Of
music from the mdrimba Ia the
hearts of the people of Central
Americd-and perhaps rightly
so. inyacay gou'H get better
conception OF their Uietopoint
after you haze read the folloeo-
ing article. EDITOR.
The typical musical background to
life in Central America and partien-
larly in Guatemala and FL Salvador
are the notes of the marimba, one of
the most purely national and localized
instruments of the world. ~
The question of whether the marim-
ba is an authoctonous American in
strument or whether it was. brought
over from Europe and Africa by
either the colonists or their slaves
has for years been the cause of much
debate.
1t is well-known fact that marim-
bas existed in ancient times in Africa
but although some Of them may have
been brought into Central America
during colonial days, it does not nee
essarily follow that this instrument
was unknown in America before that
time.
That a mountain in Guatemala
should have the e-Columbian ma

of the ravines-seems to indicate that
the instrument must have been famil-
lar to the people of our hemisphere,
before the arrival of the great naviga
tor.
The marimba-a close relative of
the xylophone-is an instrument made
of a series of pieces of wood placed on
a base in a certain order and which
give out a musical sound when struck
with sticks. The construction of the.
marimba is quite complicated pro-
cess which has to be done carefully
from the choosing of the wood which
is to be used, to the last finishing
touches on the playing sticks.
1t is really a labor of love, done
most Of the time by the players them
selves. You would never think of
Paderweski. constructing his own
piano or Paganini or Sarasato max
ing Stradivarius to play on, yet in
the marimba you have an instrument
that has been constructed by the mu-
sicians who are about to play on it.
The first requisite for good mar

the hard kind and preferably of the
Hormigo species called by the Indians
musical wood" from the pleasant
sound it gives out when struck by the
