[Finale] Notating Mallet Percussion

2003-09-16 Thread RockyRoad
I am writing for a Marimba which goes down to "A" (the instrument, not the piece). Is Marimba notated in the treble clef on a single stave? Which A on the stage is the bottom note on the Marimba? Thanks. PS: What about the Xylophone? Is its lowest "C" a middle C? -- David S. _
