Burns Annex

Adjacent to and north of the Burns Fine Arts Center is the Burns Annex. It houses the Department of Music's percussion studio and rehearsal room, workrooms for the Sinatra Opera Workshop, and Art Department offices.

Among the instruments in the percussion studio are:

One set of four Adams Professional timpani
One 4.3-octave DeMorrow marimba
One 4-octave DeMorrow vibraphone
One set of orchestra bells
One drum set
Additional sundry smaller instruments

The marimba and vibraphone were hand-crafted by instrument maker Doug DeMorrow (DeMorrowInstruments.com). The 4-octave vibraphone (c3 to c7) is something of a rarity, as standard vibraphones span only three octaves (f3 to f6).
