Custom Orders:
Most marimbas shown on this site are recently completed models. I typically have sets of keys and parts of frames in various stages of production awaiting orders for particular tunings and configurations. When I have completed instruments available they are generally two octave (C–C–C) with F#s, Just Intonation, C=0. Other tunings and configurations (e.g., C–C–E, no F#s; JI C=+20; JI C=+8; Equal Temperament) are available as custom orders, which I commonly do.
Complete Sets:
A complete set most commonly used for Shona style playing is comprised of three sopranos, two tenors, a baritone, a bass and hosho.
Standard Features:
The following features are standard on our performance sopranos and tenors:
- Folding legs pivot on carriage bolts with nylex nuts to maintain proper tension.
- Keys rest on an industrial sponge rubber which will not compress over time as weatherstripping will. This eliminates the need for periodic replacement.
- Keys are secured by shock cord and screw hooks, allowing keys to be removed from frame without unstringing and restringing.
- Resonators on sopranos and tenors are constructed in one-piece unit and are easily removed from below for transport.
- Buzzers are placed on resonator end caps for optimal sound quality and transport convenience.
