Padauk Bars Offer Rich Tonality

The YM1430C features padauk bars, a dense hardwood that produces full, balanced tones with a crisp high end. Graduated bars of 1.5" to 2.25" provide even timbre across the instrument's range. Padauk's acoustic properties make it a popular choice for marimba bars, with a tone comparable to rosewood.

Accurate Pitch and Adjustability

Yamaha employs an exclusive tuning method to ensure the YM1430C's bars produce accurate pitch right out of the box. Two resonator heights—low and high—accommodate different performance environments by adjusting the resonance and projection. Angle supports adjust to the perfect playing angle for any musician. A height-adjustable frame ranges from 32.5" to 37" high to suit players of all statures.

Compact, Durable Design

Despite its full 4.3-octave range, the YM1430C features a compact footprint of 74" wide by 33" deep, with locking casters for easy transport. A sturdy metal frame provides durability for years of use. Rubber end caps prevent the resonators from scratching the frame. The streamlined, modern appearance complements any ensemble or teaching space.
