Marimbas
Alpha
The Adams Alpha Series family of instruments represents the state of the art in modern instrument design. The high sweeping arc of the resonators, rich wood stain finish, and polished aluminum name plate all merge seamlessly to form a visual and aural statement in modern design.
Alpha 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. In collaboration with Kessels Granger Design Works, Adams has created the newly contoured rails, end pieces, and resonators, available in a variety of color and stain combinations.
Adams Alpha Series Marimbas use only the finest aged Honduras Rosewood available. Using a proprietary computer-assisted method, all Adams bars are meticulously precision tuned through an incredible sixth overtone in the lower register. This exclusive tuning process gives Adams keyboards the most stable pitch and evenness of sound available, while making the upper registers sound more open and resonant.

Adams Apex Frame
Modern, Minimalist Design
Apex frames feature a dramatic swept-back side pillar design for modern style and ultimate strength. Only three frame parts make Apex quick to assemble and easy to transport.
Elevate Your Performance
The simple, strong, and proven Adams height adjustment mechanism has been transformed in the new Apex frame, creating a total unrestricted performance experience and easy height adjustment, allowing performers at any level to achieve their peak performance.
Ultra-Strong Crossbar
The low center of gravity, accomplished by the ultra-strong aluminum crossbar and stability-enhancing connections, along with an eccentric radial-locking center joint mechanism, provides ultimate stability with a clean, stylish look and easy movement.
Integrated Shore Braces
Integrated shore braces with hand-screw fittings provide maximum lateral strength and guaranteed vertical positioning at every set-up.
