Kallisti Percussion
Description
Kallisti Percussion was started in Seattle Washington in 1978, under the influence of the fantastic Shona marimba bands directed by Dumi Maraire, Sheree Sparks, and others in the area at that time. What began as a garage project to build fun percussion to play with friends soon grew by word of mouth into the Northwest crafts-fair circuit and a featured stall at the Pike Place Market.
Upon leaving Seattle to live a more rural life in western Massachusetts in 1981, he developed a set of designs for finely tuned, individually handcrafted marimbas that would be easily portable and affordable. These became very popular in educational settings.
During the 1990's, with the increasing interest in world music and the growth of tuned percussion in informal music making, Kallist marimba designs were added for these musicians - both at home and in performance settings.
