Click here for Our Xylophones Click here for our Metal Frames Coe Percussion offers complete custom built marimbas and xylophones designed to meet each individual's needs. We offer both "Concert Series" and "Etude Series" marimbas, Xylophones And Metal Frame instruments. Marimba sizes range from Four and One Third (low A) to full Five octave instruments. We offer a 3.5 and a 4.0 octave Xylophone. Bar choices on marimbas include Honduras Rosewood and Padouk. All Xylophones are Honduras Rosewood, however other woods are available upon request. (such as Cocobolo used on the old Deagan Klyposerus instruments) We are always experimenting with unique and new wood types, so don't hesitate to inquire. WARRANTY: Every new instrument which leaves our facility is warranted against defects in materials and workmanship for a period of one year. In addition, the warranty covers free bar replacement for any reason during the first year of ownership, and free re-tuning of the bars during the first two years of ownership. We only ask for you to cover freight charges in sending the bars back to us. NEW!! We now offer custom made marimba and xylophone covers. More information to come soon. (you can see our covers by clicking here.) Concert Marimbas: All tone bars on the concert instruments are hand selected Honduras Rosewood. Marimba bars are "triple tuned" and are of the finest quality. (Xylophone bars are "Quint Tuned") Each bar is painstakingly hand crafted for an extremely smooth surface with rounded edges. Rounded edges and a smooth playing surface prolong the life of the yarn mallets used in playing the instrument. Each bar is carefully selected based upon grain structure of the wood, color, and most importantly ring-time and tone. Bars are finished in multiple coats of a special tung oil that does not hinder the resonance of the bar, while at the same time protecting the bar from all of the elements. Resonator materials can include Brass highly polished to a "mirror" finish or left plain, Aluminum powder-coated in your choice of color, and Synthetic Tubing in your choice of color. Materials will be suited to meet your likes/dislikes, needs, and monetary availability. NEW!! All instruments have available a hydraulic height-adjustable frame. The frame looks nearly identical to the non-height adjustable versions, only hydraulic cylinders are built-in to the endpieces and attach directly to the casters. The instrument is adjusted by the turn of a single hand-crank, for a nearly effortless height adjustment throughout a range of 7 inches. We will be updating our web-site with pictures and more details on the height-adjustable frames soon. If you download our VIDEO, you can see the height adjustment system in action now. Etude Marimbas: The Coe Etude Marimbas offer the student musician an excellent alternative to higher priced instruments, while at the same time creating an investment for the future. The bars are made from South African Padouk wood or other suitable materials, and are FULL SIZED . Many other student or 'practice model' instruments do not have full sized bars. Additionally, the bars on many practice instruments are factory seconds which either do not have a long resonance time or have visible and/or audible imperfections. Coe Percussion Etude Series instrument bars are tuned in the exact manner as our concert instruments and are of the finest quality. The Etude marimbas include resonators which are made from a special synthetic tubing. The Etude instrument frame is identical to the Concert Series marimbas, therefore the bars and resonators can be upgraded at a later time to easily convert the instrument into a "Concert Series". All we would require is that you send back your Padouk bars and synthetic resonators, and purchase an 'upgrade package' which would include Honduras Rosewood bars and Brass or Aluminum resonators. (whichever you prefer) NEW!! Hydraulic height-adjustable frame identical to concert series is also available.
