Pao rosa tone bars ready for lessons
The Yamaha YX-1030PRC 3.0-octave xylophone has found a home in many classrooms around the world. Built with pao rosa bars, this xylophone sings with delightful tones similar to rosewood. Yamaha also increased the tone bar dimensions from the standard 33mm to 38mm through the xylophone’s entire range. This provides a larger surface area for beginners, enhanced dynamic range, and promotes easier transitions to professional instruments in the future.
Made for effortless transportation
Knowing the bustle and rigors of classroom life, Yamaha provided the YX-1030PRC with fortifications for such an environment. Its 3.0-octave construction makes it an ample instrument for teaching and compact enough to be packed up and transported effortlessly. A built-in handle allows it to be easily carried by a single person. Compact and lightweight, this xylophone is also equipped with rubber feet and can be easily stored in limited spaces.
Durable, lightweight frame
With the YX-1030PRC you’ll find a rugged frame ready to tackle any educational situation. Made of resin, the post resists bending without dampening the resonance or creating extraneous noise. After years of work, the resin post will remain flexible and true to its original shape. Yamaha used metal for the end posts to ensure proper strengthening at the required points. Furthermore, the wooden frame contributes to the lightweight design but also offers an improved tonal quality to the entire xylophone. Rich overall tone and resonance merged with a durable and compact design — its all here in the Yamaha YX-1030PRC 3.0-octave xylophone.
