Bass Marimba
New Member
I was not able to find a "forum" or much other info on Curry Tjader. He is listed as playing a Bass Marimba for Baja Marimba Band, and the Julius Wechter site says "they had to climb a ladder" to play it. I was told by the people at Deagan (about 1978 or so) that Curry's Bass Marimba "was the first Deagan Bass Marimba made," and that it was one of three that had accoustic resonators (all later ones had transducer pickups) . I bought new in 1979, and still have, one of the Deagan amplified Bass Marimbas. I'd like to find photos of Curry's instrument, just for the "record" of seeing what the accoustic instruments looked like. Also, does anyone know what became of Curry's Bass Marimba?
