Thank you all for the help. The insightful advices i got from you are treasured, and I would gladly return the favor in the future!
I am settled now on getting a Malletech. I pretty much like everything about malletech marimbas. Tunable resonators, round bar edges, the overall design of the instrument..etc. The only thing that worried me was the wide bars; I have had a lot of people telling me how difficult it is to play those. However, I think I can adjust myself to it. So, I am very confident about the purchase now.
Actually, Jennie of Malletech was very helpful when i was contacting her over email. She managed to find me a contact in my area for me to try out the instrument. Then of course, Ron Sammuels was very informative to me as well, I just thought it'd be nice to give Malletech some props.
Lastly, for those who have a similar craze for Bach as I do: The 1st piece I will learn after I get my 5 Octave Marimba is the opening Fugue (Ricercare) from the Musical Offering. My goal so far is to be the first person to play/perform this piece on marimba! (and please do tell me if it's been done or not).
Thank You,
Michael Au.
