Adams Endurance Series Marimbas are designed for maximum strength and durability, allowing for easy transport across any field or concert stage. Featuring solid steel accessory rails, large rubber field wheels, and precision height adjustability, Endurance Marimbas provide the bottom end for any ensemble while standing up to years of hard playing, weather, and loading. Available in 4.3, 4.6, and 5.0 octave configurations. Only the finest aged Honduras Rosewood is considered for the keyboard which is then tuned via the Alpha Tuning Method producing not only the perfect fundamental note but the perfect harmonic structure throughout the upper register. The resonators found on all Endurance Series Marimbas are structurally welded for the utmost in strength and isolation from mechanical noises. Each structurally welded resonator tube is carefully designed to amplify the fundamental note and give you maximum volume, sustain and clarity. Lower register resonators are tunable and each resonator system is mounted on a rubber isolation system to ensure the maximum resonance and eliminate all possible mechanical noise.

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.

Inspired by vintage instruments of the 1920s, the Adams Artist Glockenspiel is the new modern standard. The 1.25” high-grade steel Round Top bars sparkle with an unparalleled timbre and gorgeous bright nickel-plated steel resonators project the instrument clearly through every ensemble. The open rail system of the Adams Artist Glockenspiel not only allows for the foot-operated damper system but also eliminates “case noise” that is normally produced by bells that are mounted in a box. The patent-pending reversible damper system allows the player to operate the pedal like a vibraphone (normal on / pedal down to release) or in a reverse position (pedal off / pedal down to dampen) depending on the musical necessity. Unique to this damper system, accidentals are still mounted in a normal stacked configuration, making the Adams glockenspiel the most playable and practical instrument available.
