Honestly, I think she took it too fast! And missed A LOT of notes! And the speed took away from the prettiness of it! And I would never play that song that fast... especially when that many notes are messed up!
very fine sand paper and a lot of free time... good thing you only need to tune them once in a few years. This also depends on if they're kept in a climate controlled environment.
The resonators (tubes) have stoppers at different depths along the length. If you have tune-able resonators (meaning the stoppers are made of rubber and not metal), you put a tuning stick down the tube. The sticks are marked off at different lengths corresponding to the note desired.
Is this out of Nancy Zeltsman's book? If so, the tempo marking is "Andantino," (Moderately slow) not "Prestissimo" as in the original score. Also, I agree, four mallets make this piece way easier. I played it for a jury a while back.
i hate how people that play marimba think theyre percussion judges when they commnt..its okay to make pointers but when you say its not good and then theres no videos on your profile of you playing it makes you look like an idiot.
good good. couple pointers.. you need to make your prhasing much better. U might want to try using different mallets. Try to make it flow a tab bit better and do not slow down. try using 4 mallets for this song it is alot easier

Non Troppo Vivo means not too fast. This is way too fast, and thus, full of note mistakes.
The octave double stops on page 2 are rolled.

How do you tune one of those things?

Sorry, I actually meant the tempo marking was "non troppo vivo," or "not too fast" -- I knew it was one of the two :)
