Electronic adjustability

A new Kolberg invention allows the marimba height to be adjusted synchronously at a single location - either electronically or manually by just one crank handle. By only pressing a single button on the electronic panel the marimba's height is adjusted synchronously and quickly. The electronic display panel shows the precise height in centimetres. An additional memory-function with four memory storage spaces is ideal when the instrument is shared between players. Power supply: 230 V

Brass resonators

The resonators are made from high-quality, precision-engineered brass tubing. The surface of each resonator is polished to a high gloss finish.

Unique system for adjusting the resonator base

A temperature difference of 10° C (18° F) changes the length of the C-resonator by about 2.5 cm. Thus, it is critical that a musician can adjust the height for the optimal sound volume.The Kolberg Marimba, unlike conventional systems, employs an especially developed coarse thread spindle that lets the marimbist adjust the resonator base ("resonator stops") quickly and more efficiently. This system also enables the stop to retain its normal tension during repositioning, so that the sound volume remains constant. This in turn, makes it easier to locate the optimal resonance point. The resonators for the notes from C to c2 (C2-C5) can be adjusted using this system.
