julia,
the cat that i take lessons from has a malletech practice marimba we usually use. only when going for 'performance quality' do we move over the the concert grand.
one bad thing about the practice marimba is it sounds thin to me. i know it has to do with lack of resonators and possible quality of wood. i find myself really beating the tar out of the practice marimba to get volume and when i do that to the grand, the volume is too much.
the other draw back is he cracked a couple of bars. nothing major. we can still play on them, but you can tell there is a crack in them.
overall opinion? i like the practice marimba. in fact, i'm looking to buy one myself when i get some $$$. keep us posted on where you get yours and the cost.
