My high school is in the process of purchasing a marimba. It will be used year-round, for marching and concert - so we have to go with a synthetic, for now. My band director and I are debating between Kelon and Acoustalon. I prefer the Acoustalon - resonance, feel, etc. She is open to either - based off of what other people have suggested. Most have gone with Kelon. Could anyone who has played extensively on either give me positives and negatives? I've also heard of the Acoustalon being affected by heat. When I've played on one, I've never had a problem with it. Acoustalon has a feel close to rosewood. Whenever we audition for district band, Solo & Ensemble, etc., a rosewood marimba is usually provided. Wouldn't that seem resonable enough? I want some input, here. Thanks!
