i've been looking for a 5 octave marimba under 10,000 for so long and this one seems to be the one that's calling me. The rosewood superiorists have clouded my mind for so long into thinking a padauk instrument would never be worth it, but from the recordings i've heard of this instrument, its perfect for what i'm looking for in the price range i can afford. also, a coincidence that i live in Chattanooga, where this person plays.
I've fallen asleep listening to Chad play Bach on marimba many a time. Chad is one of the most smooth and tasteful players I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. Way to go, dude!
Soon I’m going to be getting my first Xylophone and it’s going to be a 3.5 Octave Padauk bar, concert frame Xylophone, from Majestic!. I’ve never played or purchased any products from Majestic or its other counterparts but I’m excited to try it out!, I’ve only played on a Yamaha 3.5 octave xylophone I’m not sure of the model or generation, but I know it was older then a new gen.
The paduak is just as bad as the intonation of the 5.0 rosewood. Until Majestic starts bring Craftsmen who understands tuning particularly in the lower register, this will always be an easy inferior product. I know, as I've owned the concert rosewood 5.0 in which the octaves never lined up. I just bought the 5.0 paduak MTech which is light years ahead of this instrument. Go buy one of these instead!!!!!!!!
Jim Edward, you owned the 5-octave rosewood version of this? I was wondering, was there consistency in the way the harmonics were tuned in that lower register? Or was it varying and random? If the _double-octave_ and _3-octave + major 3rd_ partials are in tune, I could live with that lol. Thanks for any insights!
I’ve been considering the malletech 5 octave padouk instrument. I’ve never heard it in person. I mostly played on a 5 octave Yamaha with rosewood bars. How does the malletech compare??
@@DeeboComing Blake not because I own one, but the Malletech 5.0 has a much richer sound than the Yamaha rosewood. No kidding. If you're in the North Texas area, drive by and play on mine. Jim.

haha, thanks Dave.
For Padauk, those bars are surprisingly rich and resonant😮
Nice! Love the Majestic products!

Sounds amazing for the price

@@927drummerboy oh wow that's crazy lol. Do you think the tunable resonators play a big part in that?
Looks cool, sounds dead though.
