Vintage Rosewood Orff Style Diatonic Alto Xylophone
Unknown maker (the label has peeled off)
Includes a pair of mallets and 3 extra notes (2 F#s and 1 Bb)
Notes: C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, A
Please note - there is some sticker residue on the notes, but does not effect the tone. I've recently applied some linseed oil and beeswax polish to the wood. Please listen to the video for how this xylophone sounds. Harder or softer mallets will make this xylophone sound different. It's good to have a variety of mallets on hand.
