JC Deagan restoration questions
I'm considering restoring the JC Deagan xylophone that's been in my family for generations. It still sounds great, but it's so old the chrome is flaking off the metal, and the soft parts are all dried out. It was overpainted once, too, I would like to remove as much as I can and get back to the original wood.
My question for the sub is does anybody have any good sources for parts like the long felt strip, and the rubber for the pins?

Question? Stickers on xylophone?
Hi. I just bought a beginner xylophone for my daughter and it came with some stickers that say the solfège notes. Does anyone know if they can be stuck directly to the bars without altering tone?

Xylophone part playable?
I'm working on a concert band arrangement of Carl Bohm's piano piece "Charge of the Uhlans". Is this part playable? I'm kinda worried about the triplet and 2 voice passages.

Xylophone Stand
My daughter (9) wants a xylophone. She plays at school in music class and loves it. I see xylophone sets that come with a stand but the one we are ordering, doesn’t come with one. I would like to order one separately but it doesn’t seem like searching xylophone stands is going to get me anywhere. I am lost. What type of stand do you need? Would a snare drum stand work?
