The Endurance Frame was designed specifically with the demands of outdoor performance in mind, offering extra large locking precision wheels, and sturdy oversized tube construction. The Endurance Frame easily navigates rough, uneven outdoor terrain and still can be perfectly suited to indoor concert events as well. Both ends of the Endurance Frame feature the renowned Adams height adjustment system, allowing you to effortlessly adjust the playing height of the instrument to fit any size player. An accessory bar runs the full length of the frame allowing you to add drums, bells, cymbals, and virtually any instrument that can be mounted using a standard hardware mount.

This creates a multi-instrument percussion set-up that can easily expand as your needs change. The Adams accessory bar is completely square, providing a slip free mounting surface that will not creep or rotate, even under extremely heavy loads. Standard Pearl PC-50 and PC-10 Rack Clamps are used to mount all accessories to the bar, and the PC-10 accommodate standard 7/8" diameter pipes and smaller. The Adams Endurance Field Frame is easily the sturdiest, best designed, highly adjustable frame on the market today.

The Adams Endurance Field Frame is offered as standard equipment for the MC2KF43 Marimba, Artist Glockenspiel and 2VBALGF30 Vibraphones.

It is also available separately as an add on package for all other Adams Artist, Concert and Soloist Series Marimbas, 4.0 Concert and Soloist Xylophones, and the Concert Vibraphone.
