I've had my 5.0 DeMorrow for a few days now. So far, it is by far the best marimba I have ever seen or played--in how it looks and how it's built, and how it feels under the hands, responds at various dynamics and different mallets, and the tone quality. I had to wait a while for it, but it was worth it, without a doubt. If anybody is thinking about purchasing a marimba, one of Doug's should definitely be a consideration.

I have to agree, DeMorrow makes a great instrument. Enjoy your marimba Kristopher!
