Did you know that some of the best marimbas in the world are built in Arkadelphia, Arkansas?  If you were a percussionists, you would probably know this.  At least you would wish to own one of the most artistic and beautiful marimbas in the world.  What is a marimba, take a look on the DeMorrow website at the sleek standing piano with brass pipes played with four mallets.

Doug’s story begins as a percussion student at Henderson University.  He worked as a wood-worker to pay his way through college.  He liked playing the marimba and he kept thinking that he could build a marimba.  As he perfected it, as a musician and wood-worker, he kept making improvements until he had a beautiful work of art with an exquisite sound.  Today famous musicians treasure his marimbas.
