4.3 Octave Paduak Bar-Height Adjustable
This instrument provides the perfect solution for an affordable graduated bar-width marimba, ideal for the practice studio, home or school band-orchestra application. A combination of easy- portability, height adjustable and clear resonant Paduak Keyboard, brings a full size instrument into reality for the school or student in the early stages of mallet keyboard studies.
A complete one-year warrantee from the Korean manufacturer on the frame and keyboard makes this an investment that will provide years of playing enjoyment, supported by a built-in resale value and demand.
Instrument specifications:
All of the mallets in the Joseph Pereira Signature line are made from strong, hand-selected bamboo. Mallets with a ball-stick design (JP 1-5) are hand-sewn with the highest quality soft German felt. Mallets with a European layered design (JP 6-10) feature layers of leather and Viennese flannel.
Each pair is 15 inches long (38cm) with bamboo ranging between 11-13mm in diameter. Each mallet comes fitted with a European style handle grip.
Using only straight bamboo with no knots, JGpercussion introduces a new selection of timpani and bass drum mallets. This lightweight bamboo is sought after by players looking for a stick that is agile and moves quickly off the head.
Each pair is sewn by hand with high-quality American and German Felt.
All mallets are handmade by Jason Ginter, Principal Timpanist of the San Diego Symphony.

Hamilton Re-Issues Classic Orchestral Snare Drum Stands
Introduced in the early 1950's, the KB275 Snare Drum Stand from Hamilton quickly became the choice of all concert and drum set performers. This classic stand is now being re-issued by Hamilton Stands and is in-stock and immediately available. We use these top quality stand to showcase all our snare drums on display in the snare drum gallery.
The new KB275 is a faithful reproduction and, like the original, features a unique drum basket that accommodates 12"-17" diameter drums without changing the height of the drum’s bottom rim. It is also designed to not put pressure on the counter hoop, affecting tuning or hoop roundness.
The base is rugged and durable, with double strip steel legs and a specially engineered anti-drop bushing that resists the center post from falling when being adjusted.
The range of height adjustment, from 21.5"-35", offering far greater personal player height preferences. Like the original, the KB275 sports the traditional striking red polymer feet.
Also being introduced is a companion stand, the KB274, which is designed especially for drum set use with a smaller footprint and lower height range.
These stands are serious about holding your snare drum exactly where and how you like it.

Fernando Meza (Director of Percussion Studies, University of Minnesota)
has released a beautiful new marimba CD: J.S. Bach  Unaccompanied
Suites for Cello in which he performs 3 of the 6 Cello Suites (No.1 in G
Major, No.3 in C Major, and No.4 in Eb Major) on a 5-octave marimba. A
major accomplishment for any marimba performer, but even more so for
someone who is particularly busy as an all-around percussionist.
Fernando recorded the Suites in 3 straight days (one Suite per day) and
looks back to the entire process as an unbelievable time of musical
growth. Meza comments, "Learning to deal with the amazing challenges of performing the
music of Bach on the marimba and making it work on that instrument is a
process that I encourage any percussionist to take in order to become a
better musician. There is a sense of communion in the study of this
music that deeply challenges you to analyze, think, and reconsider your
approach to every aspect of your musical self, from your technical
understanding to your ability to breathe and turn a phrase. It is an
amazing experience that makes you shed your old musical skin and grow a
new one with a better understanding of yourself as a deeper musician."
This new release is now in-stock and available for immediate shipment. This beautiful collection is a must-have for anyone studying and playing marimba. Contact us for ordering information.
The German Felt (soft) is exactly the same material used in the production of our own OHIO TIMPANI STICKS; both Bamboo Roller Ball and Turned Handle Cartwheel models.
Many Cleveland area students and players have been purchasing this through the showroom for almost four years. Professional Percussion Products now has the inventory available to ship these highest-quality materials throughout the world.
