Traditional/Basso Bravo

We select only fine rosewood bars to craft our Traditional Keyboard that is the Marimba One signature sound: warm, deep, evenly balanced across the keyboard. Combining Traditional Keyboard with Basso Bravo resonators boots the bass end to a more powerful and darker sound. The Basso Bravo is flawlessly blended into the keyboard so that the voicing is smooth and balanced.

The instrument is BEAUTIFUL and I have no reservations in saying that it is the nicest (M1 or otherwise) that I have ever played on. The new bass resonators (Basso Bravo) are awesome and the low octave is truly astounding. I love the instrument and am SO impressed with the work that you guys do!

We recently purchased a marimba from Southern Percussion in the UK. What wonderful service we received from Katy and her family. What a superb instrument-as we now say at home this is no ordinary marimba, its a Marimba One marimba! Matthew, our son, is delighted with it, the sound, the build quality, and the first class attention to detail. We were sorry we couldn't make your seminar in London - maybe next time when you are across- how about a trip to Ireland? Its great that you have Southern Percussion in the U.K promoting your products. Once again many thanks

It sounds amazing.  The Basso Bravo resonators truly provide a very resonant bass sound unlike many other models of marimbas.

Thanks!

Just wanted to drop you a note to tell you that we are really enjoying the new marimba.

It sounds great!   The  bass sound with those new resonators (Basso Bravo) is fantastic.

Thanks again.

After taking delivery of our Marimba One the first thing that strikes you is the sheer craftsman ship of all the component parts and the incredible ease of assembly. Unlike many percussion instruments with many parts, the Marimba One just fits together like a perfect pair of the finest gloves – first time!

We had opted for the Basso Bravo resonators and these really do produce the truest and most pure bass notes I’ve ever heard on a marimba. That irritating ‘pingy’ harmonic of the bottom end notes are now a thing of the past leaving just a full bodied, rounded bass resonance.

This is an instrument of the highest quality and beauty and has made a big impression on our students with many of them saying ‘it really makes you play better’!! What more could I want?
