The bar material"s uniform structure is superior to rosewood and does not readily absorb moisture, the usual cause of intonation problems. Palisono bars are heavier than rosewood and therefore rebound less when struck sharply. Diatonic instruments include extra keys for all F#s, Bbs, and a pair of mallets. Note range: C1 to A1.
