Well to tune a marimba bar you tune it at multiple points and since the bar is arched the frequencies you tune can't be the same so the standard is to tune the tonic, then two octaves and three octaves and a major third. Then you just have to dampen the parts of the bar where the tone you don't want is tuned. You can check LaFavres site for better explanations and illustrations.

I know! That is what started my fascination with extended techniques!
This is incredible. Can I get a copy of your thesis somehow? I would love to hear your other thoughts
Well it's in Swedish so I doubt you'll have any interest in reading it unless of course you know Swedish! If you still want it I can send you a link.

5th and 4th harmonic, right? Super cool!

Each marimba I've tried in the last ten years is tuned this way. It's basically standard.
