Adams Alpha Honduras Rosewood marimba - 5 octave

• 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.

• Flowing Design. Tonal Perfection. 

• 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 focussed on articulation and projection.

Versions:

• The most resonant wood on the planet

• Honduras Rosewood, a very unique wood with unparalleled sound qualities grows in the heart of Central America. The beauty of its resonance can even be heard on a raw-cut piece of wood Honduras Rosewood, which is also known for its hardness and durability. These typical characteristics makes it the best and most valuable wood available for crafting mallet instruments.
• Superior Honduras Rosewood Bars
  Only the finest aged Honduras Rosewood is considered for an Alpha Series keyboard. This selected Honduras Rosewood is possible only through years of intensive advancement in soucring and tuning techniques. 
  The Alpha Series Bars are the first choice out of every new production series we craft. This, in combination with the 'Alpha Tuning Method' allows to create the Superior Marimba Keyboards we use for the Alpha Series.
• Sustainability
  Illegal trade and overharvesting is a real threat for Honduras Rosewood, and local communities in the region. The high demand of the hardwood-furniture industry drives illegal trade, and even many companies in the music industry buy from dealers without a moral compass.
• Adams Musical Instruments has an own local mill with plantation to ensure sustainably and prevent unnecessary harvesting. In this way we help to protect the most beautiful wood in the world, securing the future of our beloved instruments with respect for the local community.
  Every Adams mallet instrument containing Honduras Rosewood has the right documentation to prove that we work according the strict guidelines of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES).
• Adams Musical Instruments has always worked in this sustainable way, with necessary documentation. Even long before the regulations on this type of wood were tightened, and protection became a major theme in the music industry forcing companies to take action.
