Company Information
Mostlymarimba.com was established in 2000 so that the products and publications of Marimba Productions Inc. and Malletech LLC could have a single Internet Website address.
At Mostlymarimba.com you will find the products and services of Malletech instruments, mallets and accessories; the publications of Keyboard Percussion Publications and Studio 4 Music and the recordings of Resonator Records. In addition you will find much useful information about marimba and percussion performers, composers, acoustics, seminars and concerts.
The older of the two companies, Marimba Productions, began operations in 1979 as a music publishing company. The impetus for starting a business was that Leigh Howard Stevens, then 26 years old, could not find a publisher for his manuscript, Method of Movement for Marimba. Most publishers rejected the text outright, but one well-known music publisher helpfully suggested that if he rewrote the method book in its entirety to include 2-mallet playing, vibes, xylophone and bells, there might be a chance at getting the book published. The conventional wisdom at the time was that there was no “market” for, or interest in a book that only dealt with 4-mallet playing -- and certainly not one with so many pages of text and diagrams!
In 1982, Leigh took over the manufacturing of his marimba mallets and three of the greatest mallet players in the world (Bob Becker, David Friedman and Dave Samuels) joined the effort to establish the first brand of mallets devoted to serious keyboard percussion players: Malletech was born.
Both Marimba Productions Inc. and Malletech LLC operate out of a 20,000 square foot building in Neptune, New Jersey. Company officers are Nora Stella Stevens, CFO and Leigh Howard Stevens, President and CEO. [1]
