About

Welcome to the Marimba Sass Blog. My name is Jeff Sass and I am a marimbist.

What is a marimba? A marimba is a percussion instrument with chromatically arranged wooden bars and organ-like resonators. The marimba can be played with yarn or rubber mallets and produces a warm, deep, rich sound. There are many marimba manufacturers and my marimba of choice is a Marimba One marimba made in Arcata, Califormia.

This blog is devoted to a more detailed discussion of marimba topics that are too long to “tweet” about on Twitter where I post under the name jeffsass. I have also started a YouTube channel called marimbasass where I will be posting marimba videos.

Thanks for stopping reading and feel free to leave comments!
