We are absolutely thrilled with our new marimba! The Wave frame is so strong and sturdy; I am certain it will stand up to years of use, and the 8" casters make it a dream to move. The height adjustment is a snap, and there are no issues lining things up. The synthetic Horizon bars are the best sounding and looking synthetic bars I have ever heard. I have been a HS director for more than 30 years, so I have tried nearly every board on the market.

 I am really looking forward to the beautiful sounds of a Marimba One!  This has been my favorite marimba for 30 years, and I am thrilled to be able to have one of my own.

My Wave Marimba arrived last Wednesday! It was a shockingly easy assembly and a week later, I am extremely happy with the sound; especially C2-G3 and the top octave - just magnificent.

I wanted to reach out and say thank you for such a rich and ornate looking and sounding instrument. My students have been absolutely enthralled by it and I would say my more drum-set oriented students were actually the first ones to start playing it aside from myself and a few others after setting it up. The set-up was extremely simple, and the unboxing/set-up guide you e-mailed was perfect.

I just wanted to personally thank you and everyone involved for the time, effort, and professionalism you put in to creating the marimba for me. I received it yesterday and set it up last night. It sounds amazing. The reason why I finally purchased a marimba is because I have started collaborating with percussionists internationally and having this marimba will make it much easier for practicing and performing with them. Additionally, I wanted to continue to hone my ability on marimba. I do hope to one day represent the Marimba One company with the same professionalism.

Our kiddos love and treat your instrument with such high respect!! They always ask for permission, fold the cover when in use, cover after use, move carefully, and use special M1 mallets for their 5.0 octave. It is used as a rite of passage for our 7th graders. The 8th graders (including the wind players) guard it with their lives.
