Flowing Design. Tonal Perfection.
Adams Alpha Series Marimba
Could have, should have, would have. Life’s too short for ‘what ifs’. Too short for unfilled daydreams. The Adams Alpha marimba represents a new generation of artists. This is how every marimba should sound.
Nothing looks, or sounds, quite like the Alpha. A revolution when it launched and still an icon today. In cooperation with KesselsGranger DesignWorks a new instrument has been developed that shines on every stage. The high sweeping arc of the resonators, rich wood stain finish, and polished aluminum name plate all merge seamlessly to form a visual and aural statement in modern design.
Most important is the instrument's sound. The Alpha marimba lets it actions do the talking. Musical actions, of course. The Alpha tuning method is unparalleled and stands for crystal clear projection in any occasion. Whether it’s a large concert hall or a small studio, it’s always spot-on. With the development of the 'Alpha Tuning Technology' Adams focused on articulation and projection.
CREATE AN IMMERSIVE MUSICAL EXPERIENCE
Your musical ideas are delivered to your audience with purity and precision, thanks to the industry-leading Adams Alpha tuning method.
High
The high part of the keyboard delivers pinpoint accuracy and detailed insight into your music. The Adams Alpha has been tested as the marimba with the least frame sound in the world.
Mid
The precision harmonic placement reduces distortion and boosts midrange clarity. Phrasing and dynamics, no matter the tempo you play, are projected fully and clearly.
Low
This innovative tuning technique also allows the Adams tuners to tune through an incredible sixed overtone in the bass part of the keyboard. This, combined with the construction of the Alpha woodwork and the frame, provides an unparalleled rigidity resulting in the most accurate and dynamic bass marimba sound you will find.
NO-NONSENSE. SIMPLY MADE FOR THE BEST
Each Adams Alpha marimba features a class leading keyboard made out of premium Honduras rosewood, tuned with the inventive Alpha tuning technology at a fair and honest price. There is no need for unnecessary voicing options when every keyboard is held to the same standard.
