Lawless-Attack of the 10-Octave Marimba (SP)-2V-2-3M-4T/P

Inspired by a funny online comment from a student insisting his instructor had a 10-octave marimba, Attack of the 10-Octave Marimba plays out like a 1950s "B" horror movie, with the vision of a gigantic marimba arising out of the swamps. Thus the creepy unusual percussion sounds of the opening, the cheesy jazz-like melody lines, and the scream at the end.
