- Catalog #: YX2035PR
- A=442HZ TUNING
- PAO ROSA BARS
We have introduced a Pao rosa material for our xylophone tone bars. Pao rosa has physical and acoustic properties close to the high-end Rosewood material.Additionally, the wide tone bars make the xylophone ideal as a first instrument for beginner users.
The YX2035PR is a 3.5-octave xylophone equipped with the gas spring-type height adjustment mechanism that has gained such an excellent reputation with marimba, vibraphone and metallophone models.
Pao Rosa Tone Bars
Tone bars made of pao rosa wood offer similar physical and acoustic properties to the rosewood tone bars used on our high-end models. Tone bar width has been increased from the 33 mm dimension used on entry models to 38 mm throughout the instrument’s range, matching the tone-bar width of our high-end models.
These changes notably enhance dynamic range and provide a larger sweet spot for improved playability. The new specifications make playing easier for beginners, while also making it easy to transition to high-end models in the future.
*Pao rosa is more susceptible to cracking due to sudden temperature and humidity change than previous tone bar materials.
*Due to the action of natural elements in the wood, the surface of the tone bars might eventually become covered by white powdery residue. This will not affect the quality or performance of the product. Use a dry cloth to wipe off this residue if it appears.
Gas Spring-Type Height Adjustment Mechanism
YX2035PR features a gas spring-type height adjustment mechanism. This mechanism makes it safer and easier to handle the instrument, and makes it possible to set the instrument up to match the player’s physique.The adjustment range of 19cm makes it possible to accommodate different heights of users, which is especially beneficial for schools.
*When moving the instrument, please carry it gently to avoid any impacts. Please recheck the height after moving, as impacts may change the set height.
