The MTech Series 5.0-ocatve padouk marimba was created to make the unmatched sound and construction that Malletech is known for, accessible to students, schools and aspiring professional musicians, without breaking the bank. The top-quality African padauk bars rival rosewood instruments in warmth, clarity, volume and ring time. The graduated keyboards (tuned 48 hours before leaving the Malletech facility) and tunable low resonators of this 5.0 marimba produce rich bass tones and full-bodied sound across the instrument. The MTech Series 5.0 padauk marimba includes a superior frame with beautifully solid wooden endboards, nuts-and-bolts resonator assembly, and smooth and solid height-adjustment system ensure many years of wonderful music-making.
