We have a Lyons Bass Xylophone that needs the plastic tubing that covers the pins to be replaced. Do you know where I could purchase replacement tubing for this instrument? Thank you!

I’m in a new position and I’ve inherited some Orff instruments that are in pretty bad shape. Some are even missing. Bar or 2. Money is an issue. Can individual bars be replaced? I haven’t found a way to purchase!

We only have information about Studio 49 spare parts. You could call our USA dealers to inquire about parts for other brands and I’m sure they would be happy to help! http://www.mmbmusic.com/dealers – Your friends at Teaching With Orff

I have 3 GB xylophones (bass,alto,soprano) and a glockenspiel that need new pins and tubing …Can I buy these items and if so where? Or do I need to improvise?
Thank you

Can I have your permission to share your notes with my colleagues? I am preparing to lead an instrument repair session for our elementary teachers. Your notes are so good that I was wondering if you mind me using them. Of course, credit to you would be given.

We have three Orff timpani and I like to replace the heads.
Would you be kind to: guide as where to buy new ones and any tips on what I need to know or do to mount them.
We use these instruments with our elementary school string orchestra.
thank you very much.
