well you have some options for lower cost instruments
here are some choices (that are probbably the best sound for the cash spent)
1) Yamaha Accoustalon 4 1/3 octave-it's a synthetic bar, but sounds as good as rosewood-one of my personal favorites
2)Yamaha Padouk 4 1/3-it's a lower-quality wood, I'm not sure what they sound like, but they're cheap
3)Premier Synthetic 4 1/3 octave-I don't like them, but they're also inexpensive
4)Kori Imperial II 4.33 Rosewood-probably the best buy of them all, Kori makes GREAT marimbas
5)Musser M250-Rosewood or Kelon-the rosewood is a great marimba, I can't say the same about the kelon.
If you're serious about buying a marimba, check out the woodwind & Brasswind-Drums in the winds catalog-(www.wwandbw.com)they have a huge selection or call Steve Weiss...I'm not sure about the Steve Weiss number.
Of course if you want the best marimbas...get a Malletech or Marimba One...but be ready to dole out the cash..
Hope I helped
