Re-engineered from the ground up, Endurance Series Marimbas are built to withstand any terrain. Featuring a square 1.5" heavy-duty tube frame construction, multiple bolted connection points for maximum rigidity and resonance control, and side panels made from heavy-duty aluminum to reduce weight while maintaining structural strength. The connection rod, accessory bar, and player’s side support bars are made of ultra-sturdy steel, ensuring zero flex or sag, even under heavy use. Endurance is finished in an all-black, weather-resistant powder-coat for lasting protection and understated bold elegance.

No Wing Nuts

Built on multiple bolted connections, every Endurance Series frame offers unmatched rigidity and strength without the need for extra wing nuts. No rattling, no flex, and no loss of resonance. In addition, the oversized 8" precision wheels are built with a reliable locking system, and aluminum side bumpers provide not only protection but also additional lateral stability.
