All Majestic marimbas utilize advanced tuning methods developed in consultation with master tuners in the U.S. and Europe. By pairing these methods with carefully selected aged Honduran rosewood or the warm resonance of newly formulated synthetic bar material, consistently balanced keyboards are produced. With these keyboards over precision-tuned resonators, the resulting tone production is full, balanced and consistent. Add to this effortless height adjustment and easy rolling casters, and it is clear that Majestic marimbas represent the convergence of design elegance, superior tone, and ultimate functionality.The Gateway modular system of mallet instruments makes performance quality instruments available to young percussionists. The wide graduated bars and extended range of the M5533D marimba make it a standout in this class. Optional resonators allow students to experience true, rich marimba sound and to refine the techniques of tone production. The optional carrying bag and exceptional light weight of the stand and frame make it a great portable performance instrument for pit orchestra or worship environments.
