Alex,

All it is is a 5.0 octave marimba with an extra seven bars on the top octave. It does not go any lower than a typical 5.0 octave instrument. Normally the marimba's top octave ends an octave below the top octave on a xylophone. All they have done is added seven more bars to extend it up to the "G" normally in the top octave on a xylophone. J.C. Deagan used to make instruments of similar range a long time ago, they just didn't go that low.

This link should take you to the YM5104-A specs pags:

Hope that helps!
