The ad was on tv a few years ago. I tried searching at amazon.com for marimba music, but it wasn't there. A few other ads have featured similar music, so I don't think it was written for the ads. Does anyone know who wrote/played the music and if there are any recordings? Thanks, Steve. |

How about a bigger hint?
