Hear every detail in perfect harmony
Whether you choose Rosewood, Pau Rosa, or Zelon, each bar is painstakingly hand-adjusted through the sixth overtone using a proprietary computer assisted method at the hands of a highly skilled Adams craftsman. This precise tuning and voicing process ensures the instrument’s sound is balanced perfectly throughout the entire range.
Honduras Rosewood
Adams Honduras Rosewood is the most resonant material for marimbas, and is specially sourced and handled to get the most out of every bar. Full fundamental, and clean projecting sustain is the hallmark of Adams Rosewood Marimbas for professional and every perforamance situation.
Pau Rosa
Pau Rosa is a fantastic kind of wood for the use in xylophones. Offering a bright, sharp sound, Pau Rosa is an excellent, economical alternative to Honduras Rosewood for Xylophone Bars.
Zelon
Field tested by today’s top drum and bugle corps, our specially designed Zelon synthetic bars offer the highest quality tone and projection available, in conjunction with unmatched durability to the sun and heat of even the most forbidding outdoor performances. Zelon has a bright timbral response that maximizes projection and sustain to fill even the largest of spaces.
On the go with confidence
Moving your instrument mostly isn't easy for a percussionist. Therefore the both the rails and resonators of the Solist xylophone fold in half, allowing the instruments to easily fit in the trunk of almost any car. Besides that, the Soloist Series resonators are welded for strength and noise-free dependability and styled with a durable powder-coated finish.
Apex Frame Features
This makes the Adams Apex Frame the best malletframe in the market.
Modern, Minimalist Design
Apex frames feature a dramatic swept-back side pillar design for modern style and ultimate strength. Only three frame parts make Apex quick to assemble and easy to transport.
Elevate Your Performance
The simple, strong, and proven Adams height adjustment mechanism has been transformed in the new Apex frame, creating a total unrestricted performance experience and easy height adjustment, allowing performers at any level to achieve their peak performance.
Ultra-Strong Crossbar
The low center of gravity, accomplished by the ultra-strong aluminum crossbar and stability-enhancing connections, along with an eccentric radial-locking center joint mechanism, provides ultimate stability with a clean, stylish look and easy movement.
Integrated Shore Braces
Integrated shore braces with hand-screw fittings provide maximum lateral strength and guaranteed vertical positioning at every set-up.
