Upcoming Marimba Building Workshop - May 1-3, 2020

Next Marimba Building Workshop, May 1-3.

We'll be making a Big Bass and one more instrument TBD. All in 3 days! Lots to learn and do.

Here's the description of the class:

Weekend class with marimba builder Tom Bourne
Where: Bourne Marimbas in Bellingham, Washington USA

Cost: $350, one free attendance with the purchase of any instrument we build.

As with our previous classes, we will build a complete marimba from start to finish.
Learn everything you need to know about building marimbas for your local school or marimba band. Since 1995, Tom Bourne has built over 1500 marimbas of all sizes for schools and invites you to his shop to share his knowledge.

Bellingham, Washington is located just south of the Canadian border between Seattle and Vancouver B.C. It is near all kinds of great activities on the water and in the mountains. Bellingham has a modern airport with direct flights to Denver, Las Vegas and other cities in the western USA.

This class is suitable for adults and teens who can use, or are willing to learn to use, a few basic power tools and hand tools safely. 

I can provide suggestions in procuring lodging in Bellingham, many options available.

Class limited to 7.

  2. Hi Tom! I hope you are well. Is this workshop still happening, or postponed due to Covid? If postponed, have you set a date? (This is Terri from Vegas.. I attended your workshop in 2014 and loved it!)
