Baritone Marimba
| Baritones come in a variety of sizes, with as many custom options as the rest of our instruments. Although padauk is a common choice for the keys, many other woods have been used, including wenge, cherry, defferent types of mahogany, walnut, african cherry, and more. Baritones usually do not have F#s, however there are a number of them out there that do. As always, we can build your instruments to whatever specifications you choose. Please keep in mind- Baritones can be made with folding or detachable legs. |
