Wernick Musical Instruments have just signed a sponsorship agreement with the Bluecoats. They are using a 2 Octave Birch Laminate Xylosynth in their program at the DCI finals held in Indianapolis in August. Perched above a Xylophone, Tom Rarick the percussion arranger says that 'some musical moments' will come from the Xylosynth.
