Features
The Musser Studio Series Marimba's African padauk bars are hand-tuned by Musser’s master tuners in the USA to ensure precise pitch and tonal consistency across the full 5-octave range (C2–C7). The carefully graduated bar width—from 3" in the bass to 1.625" in the upper register—enhances playability and facilitates smooth transitions across the instrument, a valuable asset for developing advanced repertoire.
The tunable resonators (C2–G2) allow players and directors to fine-tune for varying environments, ensuring optimal projection and resonance in concert halls, gymnasiums, or outdoor performance settings. A height-adjustable frame (34"–39") offers customizable ergonomics, promoting healthy playing posture and easy setup.
