Professional Marimba Playability on a Beginner Budget
Birthed from a vision to make its beautiful and world-renowned marimbas a budget-friendly convenience for students, educators, and aspiring professionals, Malletech developed the Mtech series of concert marimbas. The idea that financial accessibility shouldn’t mean a lack of quality is a vision not lost on Malletech’s engineers. Spanning more than four octaves, the warm and vivid sound of this marimba’s African padauk bars supplies a projection and ring that you’d expect to find on the most esteemed world stages. Percussionists here at Sweetwater are particularly fond of the “wide-bar” low end that offers a richly authoritative bass, elegantly complementing the resonant and glassy treble tones across the rest of its graduated keyboard. Just below its sophisticated wooden frame and solid end boards, this concert marimba features a sturdy, rivet-free nut-and-bolt resonator assembly finished in gold. Additionally, a smooth-operating height-adjustment system ensures that players of any size will feel comfortable while playing. Finally, you’ll find that the solid locking casters make transport on and off the stage a quick and painless process.

For years, Malletech has introduced marimbas, xylophones, mallets, and more to the musical market, with all products exuding superior craftsmanship and tonal properties. How does the brand consistently achieve this? Just ask one of the world’s greatest classical marimbists: Leigh Howard Stevens. Actively involved with the company he founded and still concertizing to this day, Leigh has a major hand in designing all the instruments and mallets Malletech proudly produces. Sweetwater, likewise made up of passionate musicians, can see that this hands-on approach makes for a music company that not only understands its instruments but also puts all its joy and expertise behind each one that leaves its doors.
