The following projects depict the craftsmanship your instrument will receive from Salazar Fine Tuning.
Leedy #922 3.5 octave Solo-Tone Xylophone
George Hamilton Green Model
This instrument, originally manufactured in the mid 1920's, was actually found buried in the back of a barn before being rescued for refurbishment. Time had taken its toll - rust, tarnish, and corrosion had eaten away on all the metal frame components. Chipped paint, bent bar posts, worn felt strips, and missing keys were among this instrument's many issues.
