Mt. Juliet, TN - November, 2017 | Product | Reflection
After years of thoughtful research and input from top artists, making its USA debut at the Percussive Arts Society International Conference, Majestic launched the newest innovation in Mallet instrument design with the introduction of the Reflection Series Marimba. For more than a hundred years the architecture of a marimba has remained essentially the same, boasting large cumbersome wooden frames that make for heavy and challenging setup and transport.
The Reflection Series Marimba presents a revolutionary new design featuring a Central Truss System with Modular Frame Design (Patent Pending) that enables quick and easy setup and agile movement through any door. Integrated Bar Geometry in combination with newly designed Free-Floating Bar posts provides for an extremely responsive feel to each tone bar. International Soloist and Educator She-e Wu remarks, “We set out to design an instrument that looks great, sounds great and feels great. This is the best instrument I have ever played.”
An innovative new Tunable Resonator design features a full three octaves of tuning capability from C2-C5 with a dramatic 3-D curving profile for a modern aesthetic. International Soloist and Educator Tom Burritt notes, “The Reflection Series Marimba demystifies the tunable resonator while setting new standards for tonal clarity and balance. Today’s marimba has arrived.”
Further enhancements include a single-side “Uni-Lift” Height Adjustment (Patent Pending) with an optimized gear ratio, insuring smooth unassisted operation by the player. International Soloist Educator and Composer, Casey Cangelosi puts it very simply, “Never have I been so excited for a new instrument as this. Friends, you need to check this out. You will be amazed!”
