Five octaves of Honduran rosewood perfection. The extended bass range rumbles like distant thunder while the high notes sparkle like morning light on water. This is the marimba that concert halls were...
The competition marimba that's won more international contests than we can count. Honduran rosewood bars with the kind of warmth and projection that makes judges reach for higher scores. The Alpha isn't...

Ron Samuels' signature instrument, and the one a lot of soloists quietly consider the finest marimba ever built. Five octaves of graduated rosewood with a low end you feel in your sternum...
California-built by artisans who treat each instrument like a sculpture. Marimba One's reputation isn't manufactured—it's earned, one painstakingly hand-tuned bar at a time. The sustain is operatic. The evenness across registers is...
Marimba One's touring workhorse, and proof that "road-ready" and "concert-grade" aren't opposites. Five octaves of hand-tuned rosewood on the Wave's fast-folding frame—the instrument that shows up to the gig, sets up in...
The workhorse that built the American marimba tradition. Musser instruments have been in more music rooms, concert halls, and studios than any other brand. There's a reason they're the standard—reliable, resonant, and...
Extended range Musser with that unmistakable American sound. Warm without being muddy, bright without being harsh. The 4.3 range covers everything from Bach transcriptions to contemporary concerti. Practical, professional, proven. Rental Details...
Dutch engineering at its finest. These bars are so precisely tuned that piano tuners get jealous. The frame is built like a tank but resonates like a concert hall. When the LA...

The Yamaha YG-1210 — 2.5 octaves of concert bells with a clean, cutting voice that sits right on top of an ensemble. High-carbon steel bars, non-graduated at a full 1-1/4" wide, give...
Steel-bar song bells with that classic Deagan warmth. An octave lower than standard glock, these fill the frequency gap that arrangers know exists but audiences can't identify. The secret ingredient in countless...
When Mahler writes low bells, he means LOW bells. These bass chimes produce the kind of fundamental-heavy tone that shakes seat cushions and reminds audiences why they came to a live performance....
Dutch-made concert chimes with the rich, complex overtones that distinguish professional instruments from student gear. These tubes sing with a cathedral authority—when the orchestra needs bells in the tower, Adams delivers. The...
The Symphonic line offers a slightly different voice—more focused, less spread. Orchestra contractors who know their acoustics choose between Philharmonic and Symphonic based on the hall. Both are excellent; this one's for...
Dutch precision meets jazz soul. The Alpha's graduated bar sizes create a tonal consistency that's almost unfair to other vibes. Whether you're playing Milt Jackson licks or contemporary classical, this instrument responds...

Gold bar edition. The M55G has been the first choice of jazz legends for decades—there's a reason Lionel Hampton's ghost still hangs around these things. The gold finish isn't just aesthetic; it...
The Century series represents Musser at the height of their powers. Wider bars, deeper resonators, and a presence that commands attention without screaming for it. Orchestra pits love these for their blend;...
Original 1960s production. The bars have aged like fine wine—decades of molecular settling have created overtones that new instruments simply don't possess. This isn't nostalgia; it's physics. The feel under the mallets...

Japanese consistency in rosewood form. Yamaha's quality control means you know exactly what you're getting—a reliable, professional-grade instrument that performs identically night after night. The session player's safety net. Never lets you...
The hybrid that Messiaen demanded. Part xylophone, part marimba, entirely its own thing. The low end has that marimba warmth while the high end cracks like a proper xylophone. If your program...
Extended range Leedy xylorimba covering the extreme demands of 20th-century French repertoire. Boulez wrote for this exact range because he knew these instruments existed. The upper extension is stratospheric; the low end...
