Description

The Yamaha 5100 series is Yamaha's flagship concert marimba- an unmistakable concert instrument in both sound and appearance.Yamaha’s exclusive tuning method ensures consistent, true pitch across the full 5-octave range, resulting in a rich, centered tone with excellent balance and projection. Each bar is crafted from hand-selected rosewood, chosen for its density and resonance, producing a warm, traditional marimba sound favored by professionals and educators alike. The graduated tone bars are carefully sized and voiced to promote even response, enhanced sustain, and a full-bodied sound from the lowest register to the highest notes.

The newly designed resonators feature denser alloys and thicker wall construction to maximize tonal output while eliminating unwanted vibrations or rattle. Their precision shaping and brushed tan finish complement the instrument’s refined aesthetic while contributing to a focused, powerful sound. Pneumatic struts allow the height to be adjusted smoothly and safely by a single person, making setup quick and efficient in rehearsal halls, classrooms, or performance venues.

Thoughtful design details make transport and storage simple. Hinged resonators and rails, along with a two-piece crossbar, allow for fast tear-down and compact storage when needed. Oversized 4" casters provide stability and effortless mobility, even over uneven or rough surfaces, ensuring the instrument can be moved with confidence.

Note: Protective cover is not included.

When looking for a 5.0 Octave marimba I had a number of demands which needed to be met. First, the marimba had to be sturdy, one in which I could travel from gig to gig without worrying about its structural integrity. Second, the marimba needed thick bars which allow for its use in the private lesson scenario without fear. Third, it needed to be easily assembled/disassembled by one person. After consulting trusted colleagues and former teachers I opted to go with this Yamaha 5100 5.0 Octave Marimba from Steve Weiss Music. This marimba has so far fit every one of my needs. It arrived on time, brilliantly packaged and as advertised. After setting it up on my own, no need for another set of hands to help, I picked up my favorite pair of mallets thoroughly enjoyed the instrument. It handles hard articulate mallets beautifly as well as lush loosely wrapped soft mallets. The only reason I rated this instrument 4 out of 5 stars is because of the lack of full resonator tuning stops. While the instrument does include 5 tuning stops (F#22-A#26), it only includes these 5. I wish it included either the full keyboard or at least the full the bottom octave. In my opinion this is a strong workhorse marimba for daily use. I have played many brands and models over the years and while other companies offer upgrades or *premium* supplies, this instrument holds its own at this price point. If you are looking for a keyboard which will receive daily use from a variety of individuals or in many different musical settings/styles this is the ideal marimba.
