Marimba One is the manufacturer of the world’s finest percussion keyboards and mallets. Designed and built in Arcata, California, our world-renowned instruments and mallets are beautifully handcrafted to inspire passion, musicianship, and the perfect sound.

Individually handcrafted and built by our craftspeople, Marimba One Instruments are a true work of art in any musical setting. From the Rosewood that is hand selected down to the design of the frames, we build each instrument as if it were our own.

Every instrument we build is individually voiced. We balance the timbre of all bars and individually match every resonator to each bar to insure that its voice is pure and uniquely musical.

The Mattole Restoration Council is one of North America’s oldest community-led watershed restoration organizations. Established in 1983, the Council’s primary mission is to understand, restore and conserve the ecosystems of the Mattole River watershed, with attention to threatened coho and Chinook salmon and steelhead. The Council works to further our objectives and purpose via “The restoration of natural systems in the Mattole River watershed and their maintenance at sustainable levels of health and productivity.” You can check out the various programs under the MRC to see a breakdown of the many ways we interact with the local environment and community.

We are a non-profit, 501c3 that works with hundreds of private landowners, resource management agencies, and other local conservation and education organizations such as the Mattole Salmon Group, Sanctuary Forest, and Friends of the Lost Coast. These four groups work together to support the Mattole Watershed and King Range National Conservation Area as the King Range Alliance.

The community owes much of its unique character to local shops, restaurants and vendors, while each store owes its journey toward success to the support of local shoppers.

We honor this relationship through events like Pony Express Days, Music in the Park and Corks, Forks & Kegs, which remind us how important it is for communities to work together.
