Seek MIDI Files for Marimba Orchestrion
By Gordon Ramsey

This is a little off-the-wall, but I am looking for MIDI files of
some marimba music of Guatemala in hopes of building a marimba band
nickelodeon.  Any old 88-note rolls of this style could also be used.

I have recently purchased two CDs of this music and I instantly fell
in love with it.  I would invite anyone who is not familiar with it
to give it a listen.  One of the best CD's is titled "Chapinlandia".
Perhaps there are some MMD subscribers down south who know where
I can locate some of this incredible music in a format that could be
applied to a player mechanism.  Any help will be greatly appreciated.
