Special Care Item Listing Information
  • Musical instrument in crate
  • Description: This is a musical instrument in a crate. The instrument is a marimba, similar to a xylophone. It is mostly wood, with some brass components.
  • Length:6 ft 5 in 
  • Width:0 ft 8 in 
  • Height:4 ft 8 in 
  • Weight: 215 lbs
Packaging:
The item is packaged in a wooden shipping crate. The crate is tall and thin, and must remain upright during transit. Arrows have been painted on all surfaces indicating the proper orientation. Inside the crate, the item is secured with rock-climbing grade nylon webbing, bolted to the crate's structure.
Special Handling Instructions:
The musical instrument is fragile, and while it is packaged robustly, it should be treated lightly. It is also somewhat sensitive to extreme fluctuations of temperature. The crate is outside, at ground level already. No stairs, and you can drive right up to it. The delivery address is a university building, with a loading dock.
Additional Information: I am somewhat flexible on dates, but delivery must happen before July 29th , or after August 16th. These are firm restrictions, unfortunately. Report a Violation
