| Pictured below is one of our standard 15-key soprano marimbas with padauk keys and a frame of poplar. The resonators have been removed. |
| Resonators that hang below the keys amplify the note and are equipped with buzzers to make the traditional and vital sound of Zimbabwean music. The resonators and buzzers are recommended, but of course, are optional. The options are limitless when choosing a marimba from Padauk Dust. Use your imagination! |
