a Marimba Prospect
This walnut tree stood
valiant guard over the
tomb of George Wash-
ington until 1916, when
it died. The burl or knob-
lilce excrescence seen on
one branch is now pre-
served in I lie National
Museum.
AMERICAN
Effectively presented, the. Marimba
has a natural appeal to piano
players because—
•
It's easy to switch from piano to
marimba.
•
The marimba is portable—enables
the piano player to display his
talents in the homes of friends,
at parties, lodge meetings, enter-
tainments, etc.
•
The marimba is spectacular — a
spotlight instrument with univer-
sal appeal.
•
The marimba is versatile — ideal
as a solo instrument, colorful in
the ensemble and equally suited
to classical, popular or swing
selections.
•
The marimba, once mastered, is
an open door to a professional
career.
The opportunity is real, live and
immediate — a challenge to smart
merchandising and shrewd merchan-
disers. Write for definite suggestions.

Walnut Preferred by (ieorge Washington.
Today when the American theme is so dominant in all our
thinking that fashion parades of fine American walnut furni-

faction to remember that (ieorge Washington, too, loved this
native American wood.

takingly fashioned by a Renaissance craftsman in the late 15th
