My thanks go out to a number of people, some of whose pages I have linked on the Links page.

​

Particular thanks go to my wife Jan for all her encouragement and support, and for nurturing my enthusiasm for African marimba music.

​

I also want to thank Tom Bourne for some useful information he sent me in the early stages of my build project.

​

Finally I also want to thank my employer, NIS (Chem/Bio) Shymkent, here in Kazakhstan, for use of the school's facilities and the provision of the work room where I was able to make the instruments.
