"There is something extraordinary about the tuning and restoration work of Bill Youhass of Fall Creek Marimbas. He has mastered tuning theory and technology—old and new—yet instinct and artistry are his ultimate guides. As an accomplished percussionist with thirty years experience in restoration, tuning and instrument building, he knows how to 'listen.' Bill simply 'hears' things, very, very well. Also, I know when I send my instruments to him that he alone will be doing the work. That is all I need to know."
