Grover Pro Percussion Announces New Wood BlocksFeatures new rubber insulators, more sizes, increased resonance January 1, 1997
Grover Pro Percussion has added a new line of wood blocks to their
growing line of high-quality concert percussion products.
Grover's new line of wood blocks includes the WB-7 (7 inch / MSRP $26), WB-8 (8 inch / $ MSRP
27), WB-9 (9 inch / MSRP $28), and WB-10 (10 inch / MSRP $29). All wood blocks are manufactured
using the finest select New England Rock Maple and are precision-pitched for
maximum resonance and tonal variation. New features also include rubber foot insulators to prevent
sound transmission from block-to-table and provide a positive grip base.

commented Neil Grover, president of Grover Pro Percussion and percussionist with the Boston
Pops. "Our new wood blocks offer a wide variety of sizes and pitches which increase the
percussionist's selection of tonal variation."
