Adams Percussion MSLD33W 3.3 Octaves Academy Series Marimba, Padouk Wood, X-Stand with Resonators and Wheels (A2-C6)

Adams Academy Series Marimba

The Adams Academy Series is designed to bring accessibility and quality to the youngest percussionists. Students can learn on a 3.0 or 3.3 octave range of Solist series bars that have been tuned with the same method as the top of the line series, perfect for school or home use.

Tranverse Resonator System, Aluminium Beam Structure

Adams Academy Series Marimbas feature a patent-pending 'Tranverse Resonator System' that provides not only a quality bar suspension and box resonator format, but also the rigid Aluminum Beam structure that makes Academy the most durable instruments on the market.

Padouk Bars

Academy Marimbas feature the same Padouk bars as used on the Adams Solist series instruments, giving the player a true graduated bar instrument to learn and grow on. The 3.3 octave Academy Marimba with Resonators is designed to be an affordable option that allows the intermediate student to work on many of the pieces written for a low A marimba, all while still having the full tone and projection of a full-size marimba.

With Resonators

The newest member of the Academy series of student instruments, is the 3.3 octaves range Padouk marimba. The instrument features a revolutionary 'Transverse Resonator System' that enhances the tonal performance experience while still allowing the instrument to have the maximum height adjustment for the younger player. The resonators detach from the Aluminum Rail System of the 3.3 Oct Padouk bar marimba, allowing the instrument to be easily transported or stored. The extended 3.3 oct range of the instrument adds notes down to A2, allowing the player to access a majority of the literature written for the beginner to intermediate player.
