Bill Vrijens is one of our great friends who always loans us his xylophones to record with.
He runs a small business called Musaics in Melbourne Melbourne, specializing in repairs, replacement parts and sales of tuned and non-tuned percussion instruments. This includes classroom xylophones, metallophones, glockenspiels, hand-drums etc, that are usually thought of as belonging to the Orff instrumentarium, as well as concert xylophones, vibraphones, marimbas, timpani etc.
He also replaces the velum heads on banjo style instruments, which include banjos, banjo guitars, banjo mandolins etc.
Musaics is able to supply a range of replacement parts, including various rubber components, xylophone, vibraphone and marimba bars for any instrument, pins (for classroom instruments) etc. I also retune instruments, refurbish frames etc. Repairs to tympani include adjustments, to repairing or fitting tuning mechanisms, pedal mechanisms etc.
He often has a number of instruments for sale, both new and second hand. If you are looking for something in particular, feel free to contact him, or keep an eye on his site for some bargains.
He is also willing to purchase instruments, particularly if they are incomplete or in need of repair.
His web address is www.members.westnet.com.au/billv
