we have a 4 octave marimba and we are getting another..........were going to have 2 people on each with 4 mallets, it's going to be awesome. We also got a lot of new cymbals and have 4 on each marimba and xylophone. We also got a drum rack that has lot more cymbals on it. Talk aboout fun....hehehe

My high school is just opening up this year and we got everything and the best of it. An Adams 5 octave, 4 fully equipped marching Acoustalons, fully equipped marching vibes, 6 snares, 5 basses, 3 tenors, drum set, 7 Adams timpani, everything you could ever want and it's all brand new. We also have a Malletech on back order, so that won't be here for a couple more months.

We have 2 4 octave marimbas (Premier), one 4.5 marimba (Adams), one Adams xylo, one Adams vibes and one Premier vibes. We're not allowed to put 2 people on an instrument much anymore, we usually get our own now, since we have enough for everyone. But on every instrument, there's 4 mallet players.

When you all are saying "4 octave marimbas" are you saying they are 4.3's or 4 octaves? Also, last time I checked Adams don't make a 4.5 but they make a 4.6...There's a difference

I love Adams' frames. No question as i have a 4.3 in my basement now

I agree with j3rem1ah about the adams frames.

I too have a 4.3 Adams marimba in my basement, and I love the overall adjustibility, and the overall performance of it. Stands strong when you need to play, and collapses nicely when you need to move it.
