The Grand Soloist Series has been producing big, fat marimba tones since 1990 under a different model name. They all have a rubber core plus an additional layer of latex — in other words, all rubber, all the way through. They are wound medium-tight with an extremely durable proprietary synthetic yarn that produces clear articulation even at pianissimo. They are wound at a steep angle, producing a round nearly shape. Now available in four hardnesses, as well as in graduated sets.
The Grand Soloist series has been bringing big sound to the marimba since 1990 under various model names. They are made of rubber at the core with a layer of latex on the outside - in other words, rubber all over. They feature an extremely durable proprietary synthetic yarn that is wound just the right amount to produce clear articulation, even on piano. They wind at a steep angle, forming a nearly circular shape. Now available in four hardness and scale sets.
