Adams Concert Series Marimbas feature the perfect combination of quality and affordability. Borrowing the same craftsmanship and Alpha Tuning method from the Artist series, graduated bars are available in Honduras Rosewood, Padouk, and Synthetic Zelon. Concert Series instruments now feature the Adams Apex Frame — with its unique minimalist side pillar design, integrated shore braces, and ultra-strong two-piece crossbar, Apex instruments are quick to assemble and easy to transport, allowing performers at any level to achieve their peak performance. All Adams bars are meticulously precision tuned through Adams' proprietary computer-assisted method that ensures the instrument’s sound is balanced perfectly throughout the entire range. Padouk is a natural material with a similar tonal response to rosewood, with a slightly shorter sustain. With its lower cost, Padouk is the ideal bar choice for personal practice instruments or an ensemble. Field-tested by today’s top drum and bugle corps, Adams' specially designed Synthetic Zelon bars offer the highest quality tone and projection available, while withstanding the heat of even the most forbidding outdoor performances. Zelon has a bright timbral response that maximizes projection and sustain to fill even the largest of spaces.

Adams Concert Vibraphones feature precision graduated bars in either Anodized Silver or Gold, along with the durability and stability players demand in the studio and in the clubs. Concert Series instruments now feature the Adams Apex Frame — with its unique minimalist side pillar design, integrated shore braces, and ultra-strong two-piece crossbar, Apex instruments are quick to assemble and easy to transport, allowing performers at any level to achieve their peak performance. The Concert Series Vibe 12-volt motor runs safely on 110 or 220-volt power with the special converting power adaptor, completely eliminating the possibility of any electrical hazard. Clean mounted controls allow the player to choose whether the fans stop in either the open or closed position. The motor speed is fully adjustable from 25 to 150 rpm with intuitive fader control. A newly advanced, foot-operated precision dampening mechanism allows both damper and rail height adjustments, allowing each player to custom configure the feel of the instrument to their exact playing style. The damper also utilizes a new supreme quality felt material to achieve truly silent damping. An optional Long Pedal Extension Accessory converts the swivel pedal to a full-length pedal board.

Adams Concert Series Xylophones come in a wide variety of sizes and bar materials to accommodate every player and venue, whether you’re in the orchestra concert hall or on the field. Concert Series instruments now feature the Adams Apex Frame — with its unique minimalist side pillar design, integrated shore braces, and ultra-strong two-piece crossbar, Apex instruments are quick to assemble and easy to transport, allowing performers at any level to achieve their peak performance. Carefully selected Honduras Rosewood bars are manufactured in a graduated wide bar format for optimum sound quality and supreme projection. As with all Adams instruments, each Xylophone bar is tuned to the sixth overtone and precisely voiced using our proprietary computer-assisted method. This ensures the sound is perfectly balanced throughout the entire range of the instrument.

Adams has designed the Concert Series orchestra bells with the same bars as the Artist Series, but with the materials and finishes needed by today's ensembles. Adams research and development has painstakingly matched the bar specifications of early 20th Century American "Round-Top Parsifal Bells" with modern design and materials. The Concert Series Glockenspiel shares many specifications with the Artist Model, including the same 3.3 octave range of 1.25” high grade steel Round Top Bars, key beds with open rail system, and Voyager Height Adjustment Mechanism. The Concert Series includes durable vinyl wrapped rails and powder coated steel resonators, available on both the Voyager and Endurance Field Frames. The Concert Series GCV-33 and GCF-33 feature a 3.3 octave (C-E) range including Silver powder coated Steel Resonators and Adams’ patented Height Adjustable Voyager or Endurance Field Frame. The open rail system of the Adams Concert Glockenspiel eliminates “case noise” that is normally produced by bells that are mounted in a box.

Professional Generation II Timpani are the latest innovation from the world’s leading timpani manufacturer. At the heart of the GEN II is a patented, balanced action pedal mechanism with adjustable spring tension. Each drum’s pedal action is adjustable via a tension knob on the base, allowing it to be smooth over an extended tuning range. The Professional GEN II bowl is suspended from a chrome-plated steel ring, and is supported by extra strong struts. New double-wheel locking casters, wider stance base legs, and integrated third wheel provide more stability and maneuverability than previously available.
