Majestic Percussion has introduced two new concert xylophones, the Reflection X840HB and the Concert Black X635HB and X635PB. KHS America reported that the instruments reintroduce classic range-specific tuning techniques and tone bar specifications associated with the golden age of American xylophone sound.
Majestic brand manager Jeff Mulvihill said the company researched the sound and specifications of renowned and time-honored instruments. He explained that the tone bar and resonator dimensions are faithful recreations, and that the tuning scheme is voiced for the entire range of each instrument, which places the sound clearly for listeners.
KHS America stated that the sound speaks truly through the entire dynamic range without thinning out or losing projection, from delicate obligato parts to searing orchestral passages. The frames feature modern engineering with height adjustment capability and four sturdy locking wheels, increasing playability and reliability beyond what older vintage models can handle. The instruments are designed for soloists seeking tonal expression and orchestras equipping sections with a rich, vibrant tone.
