... that after the British premiere of Percy Grainger's In a Nutshell suite, The Daily Telegraph argued that the marimba, then new to the orchestra, sounded inferior to the xylophone? Source: "Queen's Hall". The Daily Telegraph. 31 January 1921. p. 4. "[...] the marimbas and nabimba, and so forth, that Grainger uses; they certainly were not worth the while, and the mock glockenspiel and mock xylophone were not as good in quality of tone and power as the genuine articles."

Moved here now.

All looks good. Long enough, recent enough, interesting enough, QPQ done, looked at Earwig's tool and no indication of problematic phrasing. Source is offline even though text is provided.--Wehwalt (talk) 21:35, 8 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
