Adams is proud to present the Artist Series Xylophone, the result of more than two years of research and development. The wide, uniform width, Honuras Rosewood bars speak clearly, quickly, and fully, recalling the character of vintage American instruments.
The xylophone precisely crafted bar geometry gives the instrument not only its voice, but also an effortless playing experience. The gorgeous nickel plated steel resonators help project the brilliance of the keyboard to the back of any hall. All of these innovations, coupled with the standard Adams Voyager frame, noise free welded resonators, and computer assisted tuning method, make an instrument remarkable enough to bear the Adams Artist Series name.
