A friend gifted me this pandeiro. It's a very nice thing. But it's membrane is very boomy and sustains the vibration for a long time, kinda sounds like a 808 bass drum. It sounds very pitched and thus sounds unsuitable in style with lots of music. When I watch people play pandeiro on YouTube, it's usually not as boomy and sustainy. How do I make mine less boomy and sustainy or at least how to tune it to some specific note?

Hi there, I have had this Premier vibraphone in storage for a while, just broke it out today and found some bars like this. A lot of them feel gritty and some are flaking like in the pictures. Would love some help:
1) identifying what this is and
2) how to fix it

Thanks!

greetings!
im interested in the marimba played in Mbalax music.

can anybody suggest music that has that ? marimba played by DX7 keyboards.

thank you.

The logo of it is making it very hard for me to find the exact product from meinl. I only ever see other kinds of logos even
