Adams ALPHA 4.3 Octave Rosewood Marimba
Hey there, sad news...we've shut down shop permanently. So you won't be able to score any drum gear via the website anymore.
The Alpha Series family of instruments represents the state of the art in modern instrument design. The high sweeping arc of the resonators, rich wood stain finish, and polished aluminum name plate all merge seamlessly to form a visual and aural statement in modern design. Only the finest aged Honduras Rosewood is considered for the keyboard. Each bar is then tuned via the Alpha Tuning Method which ensures not only the perfect fundamental note but the perfect harmonic structure throughout the upper register.
- Alpha Tuning system creates the most in-tune, open, and resonant keyboard available
- Adams Select Honduras Rosewood bars are available in 5.0 and 4.3 octave models
- The lower register of the keyboard is tuned through an incredible sixth overtone
Voyager Frame easily adjusts to the player’s height - Resonator Tubes below A2 feature individual tuning control, allowing fine adjustments for changes in humidity or temperature
Resonators feature welded construction and are suspended from the frame on rubber isolation mounts, eliminating the possibility of any mechanical noise or vibration - Soft Bag sets and flight cases are available for protection during transport
The Apex Frame
The Adams Apex mallet frame is designed to provide the best possible sound, to deliver a frictionless experience, and to surprise with astonishing and modern looks, the Adams Apex frame reaches a new peak in design. Apex replaces the Voyager and Traveller frames.
Structural rigidity is the most important part of the Apex design. The position of the high-strengthcentral crossbar creates a very low center of gravity for peerless ease of motion and the ultimate in stability. Combined with reinforced crossbar connections, the strength and support of the Apex side pillars provide less frame-noise than any other frame available.
The time tested Adams height adjustment mechanism is the most intuitive, simple, and strongestsystem in the market, and has been transformed in an improved design for the Apex frame. With its unique side pillars and improved crossbar connections, the Apex frame is quick to assemble and easy to transport.
