Introducing Wave Wrap - The Mallet Revolution!
|
|
Our new "equatorial" Wave Wrap mallets feature a clear sound across an expanded range of the keyboard. It is our most articulate and responsive series to date!
Featuring:
| 
|
|
Increased Striking Range and Responsiveness: The highest concentration of yarn is wrapped around the mallet's equator, creating an increased striking surface and a mallet that is more responsive than traditionally wrapped mallets.
Articulation and Balance: The Wave Wrap's blend of wool and nylon yarn minimizes contact sound and enhances articulation. Using Wave Wrap Technology, the mallet is balanced to facilitate the ease of movement in the player's hand.
Beauty: The double equatorial wrap creates a chevron pattern around the playing surface and a distinctive wave on top of the head - two unique visual signatures for these finest of marimba mallets.

Marimba One at PASIC - November 11-14, 2009
Come visit us and try out our Basso BravoTM resonators and Wave WrapTM mallets in their festival debuts, at Booths #300-306 in the exhibition hall. We love meeting current and future Marimba One players - it's our relationship with marimbists that has inspired each of our sound innovations, from the very first instrument that Ron Samuels brought to a PAS convention to our resonator and mallet releases this fall.

This year at PASIC, Marimba One artists Ivana Bilic, Nancy Zeltsman, Beverley Johnston and the Maraca2 Percussion Duo will perform, plus Laura Jordan will be joining us in the M1 booth!

Basso BravoTM Reviews
Visit us at PASIC to hear the new Marimba One Basso BravoTM sound!
We're hearing great things from percussionists about our new Basso BravoTM resonators.
"Ron's new instrument represents a stunning development in marimba construction. He has found a way to minimize the overtones of the low register and focus the fundamental.
The resulting quality is a rich, clean bass sound with an enlarged and more forgiving beating spot.
Fast passages have a wonderful clarity and chords, especially those with minor thirds, are free of dissonance created by the clash of the major tenth overtone. This is an extraordinary achievement!"
- Jack Van Geem - Principal Percussionist of the San Francisco Symphony, Percussion Chair at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music, & Professor at the Colburn School of Music

Lynn Vartan at USC
USC Thornton's 125th Alumni Concert in October featured Lynn Vartan and other prestigious alumni performing an eclectic mix of early music to classical and romantic favorites, jazz, contemporary film music excerpts and choral selections.
"What an honor is was to be on the same stage where I had performed as a student for so many years. It was great to be a part of such a talented group of musicians in celebrating this landmark in USC's history!" - Lynn Vartan
