Our best selling marimba is now offered in a sleek, all black finish. The MJB Black 5.0-octave marimba contains all the features of its original counterpart:
Our standard-width Honduran rosewood bars, coupled with our massive, 4” slow-bent tunable resonators, provides the low-end power players crave without sacrificing wide reaches.
Belt-driven height adjustment, nuts-and-bolts resonator assembly, and our rubber “unibrackets” create a near-silent frame, which means all that you’ll hear is the beautiful music you create.
Our six-part resonators and easy-to-assemble frames make set-up by one person a breeze.
The MJB Black comes with an ebony-finished oak frame with black aluminum hardware and matte black aluminum resonators. The standard MJB Black has tunable resonators in the first two octaves; standard resonators for the rest of the instrument. Full-range tunable resonators are also available; contact your preferred retailer for pricing and availability.
Michael J. Burritt, Professor of Percussion at the world renowned Eastman School of Music, came to Malletech in 2010 to lay down a challenge. He wanted low-octave reaches as easy as our Stiletto2 Marimba, but with a sound as big as our full-sized instruments. He wanted more highs on the highs and more lows on the lows. He wanted a completely new look. What he really wanted was a Malletech of the future, but he wanted it NOW.
Harley look, Stradivarius sound. The Malletech of the future, here today.
The MJB Marimba comes with a mahogany-finished oak frame with aluminum hardware and aluminum resonators. The standard MJB Marimba has tunable resonators in the first two octaves; standard resonators for the rest of the instrument. Full-range tunable resonators are also available; contact your preferred retailer for pricing and availability.
A powerhouse of a marimba that can be heard over a symphony orchestra, but in unaccompanied repertoire it is responsive to every nuance of your pianissimo stroke.
Big, beautiful, round, brass resonators buffed to perfection
Sterling silver solder joints
Widest bass bars
Spring-balanced height adjustment with removable cranks
Six-section drop-in resonators – one person set up
Rock solid, completely adjustable everything
The Imperial Grand Marimba comes with a honey-finished oak frame with brass hardware and full-range tunable brass resonators.
Another powerhouse marimba from Malletech, our Roadster is really an Imperial Grand with lighter-weight aluminum tubes instead of brass.
Big, beautiful “TIG,” aluminum resonator tubes – welded and buffed to perfection
Sterling silver solder joints
Spring-balanced height adjustment with removable cranks
Six-section drop-in resonators – one person set up
Rock solid, completely adjustable everything
The Roadster Marimba comes with an ebony-finished oak frame with aluminum hardware and aluminum resonators. The standard Roadster Marimba has tunable resonators in the first two octaves; standard resonators for the rest of the instrument. Full-range tunable resonators are also available; contact your preferred retailer for pricing and availability.
We have recently upgraded our Stiletto keyboard geometry and increased the bass resonator diameters without increasing the size of the low octave reaches. More powerful, cleaner bass, less non-harmonic overtones and shorter reaches to the far side of the sharps for stick clicks on pieces such as “Rhythmic Caprice.” Our Stiletto2 has the same width bass bars and resonator diameters as the biggest 5.0 marimba made by the biggest musical instrument company in the world, but with a “normal” 22-inch C1 to C2 reach! It’s an engineering and acoustical miracle that you have to hear, see and play on to fully appreciate.
Same solid frame, height adjustment, 6-section drop-in resonator system and tunable tubes like an Imperial or Roadster, but smaller, lighter and less expensive.
It’s a pretty “sharp, cutting-edge” package… get it?
The Stiletto Marimba comes with a honey-finished oak frame with black aluminum hardware and black aluminum resonators. The standard Stiletto Marimba has tunable resonators in the first 1.5 octaves; standard resonators for the rest of the instrument. Full-range tunable resonators are also available; contact your preferred retailer for pricing and availability.
