The 4 octave Concert Marimba - A True Marimba !My4 Octave concert marimba has a solid oak frame andlaminated hard cardboardresonator tubes that amplify each individual bar. ~The bars are made from padauk, a resonant African hardwood. ~ It forms a complete 4 octave chromatic scale with 49 bars. ~It features 2\" bars andresonator tubes at the bass end, graduating up to 1- 3/8\" bars at the treble end. ~It also features folding legs and detachable resonator tubes, for ease in transporting and storage. ~Dimensions: 30\"W x 60\"L x 35\"H (approx). ~Low note is the C one octave below middle C. I tune the bars to the 1st. harmonic, starting with the low C, on up to D2, This 4 octave marimba is totally easy to assemble and dis-assemble. You just remove apacking brace, stand it upon its folding legs, and slip the 2 tube racks in its slots, and you are good to go. It will fold down and fit under a bed, or in closet. The legs are not adjustable. Thanks, Gordon Young. [phone removed by ].Laminated cardboard resonators are an accepted tube to use, according to industry standards. They are used mainly on the more economical models, like mine. They are plenty durable, if taken care of properly. They have decent sound quality, and are easily replaceable, although no one has had to do this, in all the years I\'ve been making them.~Weight is aprox. 50 pounds. ~Price- $949 + $150. shipping, UPS does not require a signature for receipt of delivery, unless requested. ~I believe marimba mallets are a personal preferenceso I do not include mallets with the marimbas, however I recommend a pair of semi-hard rubber inner balls,wrapped with yarn, and with cane sticks, not dowels.Hi there! My name is Gordon Young. I am the artist that makes these high quality handcrafted instruments, at my business - heartsong studios. I power my shop with solar and hydro-electric energy.I have been making these high-quality instruments for several years,and after shipping out several hundred,I have had very few complaints. I strive to make them all of the highest quality. Each bar is precisely tuned with an electronic tuner, however, every piece of wood will have it\'s own unique sound, so some bars will ring out more clearly than others. This makes each instrument have its own unique overallsound and resonance. I think you will find my instruments to be very beautiful great sounding pieces of art. You should have a lot of fun and excitement playing your instrument for years to come!
