I have a 30+ year-old Musser xylophone that I would like to sell. It is a rosewood model. Is there someone with the Musser company that I could talk to, to find information about this instrument (year, possible value, etc.)?
Any info would be cool.

Thanks,
Julia

Julia,

Two options:

1) Here is the contact info for Musser:

Musser
505 Shawmut
LaGrange, IL
708-354-8383 (phone)
708-354-8403 (fax)

If for some reason you can't obtain satisfactory information from them, then I'd suggest contacting Gilberto Serna:

Gilberto Serna
Century Mallet Instrument Service
1770 West Berteau Avenue,
Chicago,Illinois 60013.
773-248-7733

...his area of expertise is Deagan instruments, but I'm sure he could give you a good estimate on the value of your xylophone.
