The set  includes four “Low-Rider” 2-octave sopranos (C-C),  four 3 .5 -octave  box resonator “Aussies” (C-G),  two 2-octave baritones (G-G), and two octave+ (C-D) “Big Basses”. These beautiful  instruments are in excellent condition.

THIS COMPLETE SET IS OFFERED FOR $8,500.

Purchase of the complete set includes 12 marimbas, hand-crafted mallets, stools, platforms for the Big Basses, and a library books of music and arrangements for percussion ensemble perfectly suited to a classroom marimba program.  To purchase new, the instruments alone would cost over $24,000!

This set can accommodate a group of 26 mallateers each with a range of one octave. (Two can be seated on each soprano, three per Aussie, two per Baritone, and one per Big Bass.)
