Adams 4.3 Oct. Concert Padouk Marimba w/Voyager Frame - Product Information

The Adams MCPV43 4.3 Octave Concert Wide-Bar Series Padouk Marimba has the same features of the best selling Concert Series marimbas including: Concert Series bar width, welded essential resonators, Voyager height adjustable frame, upgraded leg castings with large locking casters, and black Vinyl covered hardwood rails.

Padouk wood bars offer an excellent alternative to Rosewood, by producing a beautifully warm, woody sound, at a fraction of the Rosewood's cost. The bars are hand–adjusted through the sixth overtone, giving Adams complete control over all aspects of the marimba sound. Precise tuning and voicing provides for balanced sound through the entire range of the instrument.

Upgrade to Honduras Rosewood or Zelon Synthetic bars is easy in the future as the needs of the player change.

Drop Cover and Mallets included

Beautiful Instrument

Comments:

Bought this for my son who just finished his freshman year in college as a percussion major. We had total trust in Adams, but were uncertain about the Padouk, having never played one with this wood. Absolutely no worry. The sound of this instrument is gorgeous and the responsiveness is great. He notices the slight tonal difference between Padouk and Rosewood, but that is not a deterrent. Just the slight difference between two warm, resonant woods. For us, the price difference made this purchase possible. Assembly was easy, especially for someone who already knows his way around a marimba. Padouk bars can be replaced with Rosewood if desired in the future. Either way, this is clearly an instrument which have long use.

Great!

Comments:

As a serious high school percussionist, this was the perfect thing for me. I wanted something to practice on that sounded decent, and an affordable price range. This was probably the best marimba i could've gotten with the money I had. This is so much better than the solist series due to the fact the bar width is normal. The only thing is the instructions setting it up was very vague, also the sound of the marimba is a bit bright due to the padouk bars. However, for about 3000$ (shipping varies), this is the best marimba you can get on the internet today.

Very Nice Marimba

Comments:

I have played on many marimbas, but this is the my first marimba that I was getting. I was not sure if it would be good sound quality, but once I set it up and started to play it, I realized that it sounded good. It is not the same quality as rosewood, but for a half the price, you really get your money's worth. I would definitely recommend this to someone who is looking for a great practice instrument or even something that a high school with a budget could use. For the padouk wood, you really can't tell the difference that much. It is not the same as rosewood, but a great price for the sound you get from it.
