(last updated May 11, 2008) Not only do we build the instruments from scratch, but we also play them!  The Coe Percussion Group, our company ensemble, played at the Forest Capital Music and Arts Festival on Saturday May 10th in Perry, Florida.  Perry is known as the pine tree capital of the south. The Coe Percussion Group consists of Austin Gomez, Jason Schmauch, and Matt Coe.  We play on a 5.0 octave Coe Concert Marimba, a 4.0 octave Coe Concert xylophone, and a Deagan Electravibe which was expertly refurbished by Coe Percussion, along with various other percussion instruments and a drum machine accompaniment.   All of our musical arrangements are done by Austin Gomez.  Here are a few pictures from our performance at the Forest Capital Music Fest:*Click thumbnails below for larger views  Spotlight on our repair work and custom fabrications: Deagan model 4726 marimba, complete upper frame fabrication (all wooden portions of the frame were replaced in original style, including center hinge connections, metal parts were polished, caster wheels replaced), all tone bars completely re-finished and re-tuned, and resonators polished.*Click thumbnails below for larger views  Leedy model 642 marimba, a 4.0 octave marimba which we extended down by fabricating the extra low bars and resonators to make it into a 4.3 octave.  We also fabricated a custom height adjustable frame and powdercoated all of the resonators black and completely re-finished and re-tuned original existing bars.*Click thumbnails below for larger views    New xylophone pictures added to our site here.(www.coepercussion.com/xylophones.htm) First of two new model 5.0 octave practice marimbas is now available (2nd model coming soon).  These have rosewood bars, oak/metal height adjustable frames and no resonators.  Price is $2,500.  Email or call for more details: *Click thumbnails below for larger views    Most recent 5.0 octave marimba and cases delivered to Hans Petter Vabog in Oslo, Norway: *Click thumbnails below for larger views  This 5.0 octave marimba was delivered to Todd Warlik in Portland, Oregon.  Here are a few pictures: WE HAVE SCRAP ROSEWOOD FOR SALE!
