For a classic, timeless look Adams concert series marimbas end caps and rails are finished in a durable black tolex vinyl covering. Also featured is a highly intuitive and simple height adjusting mechanism. With its unique side pillars and improved crossbar connection, the frame is quick to assemble and easy to transport.
Excellent craftmanship and high quality build
Each bar is painstakingly hand-adjusted through the sixth overtone using a propriety computer assisted method by highly skilled craftsman, and the precise tuning and voicing process ensures the instruments sound is balanced perfectly throughout the entire range.
Structural rigidity is the most important part of the Apex design. The position of the high-strength central crossbar creates a very low centre of gravity for peerless ease of motion and the ultimate stability. Coupled with the reinforced crossbar connections, and the strength and support of the Apex pillars, there is less frame noise than arguably any other frame available.
Padouk keyboard
Padouk is a natural material with a similar tonal response to rosewood, but with a slightly shorter sustain. Players find mallet choices and playing technique like roll speed and dynamic control is nearly identical to that of rosewood, but with the benefit of a lower cost, making it an ideal bar choice for both personal practice and and ensemble.
