4.6 octave marimba

My line just got in our new (to us) 4.6 octave Adams marimba. I love it. I skipped my lunch period, my Astronomy class, and stayed after school to go in and play it today. My instructor & I were playing together trying to think of ideas for our indoor show. It was so nice. It was used by Magic of Orlando before us, and it's looks really good for being used. ::dance:: We're the only line on our coast that has one. It makes me feel good when I play it.  Hmm... Has that ever happened to you? Pretty much, getting new equipment or a new instrument and feeling awesome when you play on it?

we have 2 sets of vibes and concert bass and 1 nice and 2 semi crappy xylos, one set (the nice ones) for concert, and the other (the semi crappy ones) are for marching band. this year when we pulled out the nice stuff for concert season, i was super happy. now, in 7 days (can't wait!) we start drumline and the nice stuff goes away and the junk stuff comes out.

Perhaps he means on your coast of florida? Or in your area?

Yes, her avatar stated she was from florida and there are several programs on the east coast with that particular piece of equipment.
However, if it was intended to mean your coast of the state of florida, then rock on. You can never be upset about having top quality stuff work with.
Like MAM said, sometimes a certain amount of tarnish can alter the sound a bit. This rings true for my drumset, several of the cymbals are tarnished and/or covered in my fingerprints and they sound better than the day of purchase.
Apologies for the brain fart and not applying that to your situation.
Also, everyone loves that feeling of playing on new instruments. My last year marching our corps got brand new battery equipment, not to mention my personal favorite brand and color scheme. Couldn't have been more excited for that.

That seems more reasonable.
And I'm darn sure that we're the only one in our area.

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 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.

When my band director told me not to clean up the splash (we clean our cymbals before a few games, all contests) I did anyway because I didn't want to play on a dirty cymbal 
and I got in major trouble
