Three is the magic number

The Marimba THM 4.3 is part of the Thomann's TH series, a range of quality melodic percussion that offers great value for money. This collection includes a vibraphone, a xylophone, and the marimba featured here, each of which has a real wooden frame that instantly catches the eye. A tubular steel structure provides robust support and is equipped with a gradual height adjustment system to ensure maximum sturdiness. The Marimba THM 4.3's range covers four octaves and a third (A2 to C7), and has graduated tone bars made of Pao Rosa, a material that produces a marked depth of sound and prolonged resonance in the lower registers. Thanks to additional suspension, the tone bars, which vary in length and thickness, retain the same spacing as on concert marimbas, while elegantly curved resonators further amplify the sound.

Well thought-out design

Mounted on four robust castors, the Thomann Marimba Thm 4.3 is easy to move as required, and the two rear castors have brakes to ensure that it's perfectly stable while it's being played. The steel frame features a load-compensating height adjustment mechanism that prevents the top section from dropping abruptly when the fixing screws are loosened. This design allows percussionists to adjust the height of the marimba effortlessly between 840 and 925mm, and the absence of hinges on the crossbars and central bar further enhances the overall solidity.

A faithful companion

The THM 4.3 is a mid-range marimba aimed at seasoned musicians as well as keen beginners seeking to start out on a reliable instrument. It's great for rehearsals at home, or in the studio, and perfectly suited to music schools, conservatoires, and orchestras looking for excellent value for money. This instrument is ideal for acquiring or honing a wide range of skills, from learning to handle the mallets, to music theory and developing rhythm and melody. Its robust construction guarantees many years of enjoyable playing, and indeed a lifetime of musical pleasure.

About Thomann percussion instruments

In addition to products from more renowned companies, Thomann now also dedicates a large proportion of its range to instruments that bear the store’s own brand name and are manufactured by well-known and long-established companies. These include percussion instruments – from shakers and cajons through to handpans and drums authentically made in Africa – that offer an unbeatable price-performance ratio and are the perfect choice for students, beginners, and many others. These are characterised by features and materials normally found at much higher price points as well as by a thoroughly convincing sound.

The triumvirate of Thomann idiophones

The marimba, vibraphone, and xylophone are the three fundamental cornerstones of classical percussion, and by virtue of their respective playing techniques and distinctive sound, each instrument has its place in a variety of musical contexts. Like the xylophone, marimba tone bars are made of wood, but their larger size produces a warmer, fuller sound. This versatile instrument is just as at home in contemporary Classical music as it is in percussion ensembles, Jazz, and World Music. The right set of mallets is essential for getting the most out of the instrument, and Thomann offers a wide selection of options, including attractively priced models from its own in-house brand.

Good marimba for students
Anonymous 27.11.2015
Purchased for a college music department. An excellent college instrument at a decent price. Full resonance giving a loud sound. Easily put together and solid materials. Not professional spacing but good for a student instrument.

Toller Klang für wenig Geld
clar 13.02.2019
Wer ein Markeninstrument (Bergerault) sucht, der nicht gleich 10.000 Euro mehr ausgeben möchte, kann bei dem Thm 4.3 wirklich große Freude haben. Der Klang überzeugt, die Verarbeitung ist top - sehr stabil. Da kann selbst ein Erdbeben das Konstrukt nicht zum Wackeln bringen. Auf jegliches Kosten treibende Schnickschnack wurde verzichtet, großes Lob. Für mich als ambitionierten Freizeitmusiker (was für ein dämliches Wort, es wird meinem musikalischen Anspruch nicht gerecht) ist es wirklich eine lohnende Anschaffung gewesen. Was allerdings vielleicht noch etwas spezifischer von Thomann erwähnt werden sollte, ist die Holzart. Im klein Gedruckten wird von Klangplatten aus 'Swartzia fistuloides' gesprochen, im groß Gedruckten von Palisander. Jetzt bin ich kein Holzfachmann, aber so eindeutig scheint dies nicht zu sein, zumindest nach Informationen aus dem Netz. Ich ärgere mich darüber aber nicht im Geringsten, da der Sound halt für das "wenige" Geld einfach nur super ist. Eine zweite Marimba hätte bei mir keinen Platz, aber es wäre wieder das Thm 4.3.

Il sonne d'enfer
Patrick157 24.09.2014
A la réception du colis, l'emballage n'est pas protéger sur les coins (petite faiblesse), le carton était détérioré aux angles donc bien vérifier à la réception.

Sinon au niveau de l'instrument, que du bonheur!!! Il sonne d'enfer,qualité satisfaisante, des basses profondes et des aiguës percutants et claires.
Mon fils en est comblé.Pour le prix aucune hésitation...foncé
