I agree, the M-32 IS a piece a crap. I had a school that "ONLY" had 1500.00 and wanted a marimba so I arranged for them to buy that one. At 4 octaves is sounds tempting, but it is horrible. I would rather of had kelon....imagine what it takes for someone on here to write THAT comment. Any way as we all know the paudauk is actaully a lot cheaper then kelon, hence the purchase. Back to your question: (and the serious problem with THAT marimba...the bars are so light that Musser bent the string "guides"(posts) over so that it holds the string down but it just didnt FIX the problem. The natural bars are so light the "JUMP' up and hit the ones that are on top of them; And public school student like to hit harder then we might like. I ended up selling it to a student for his bed room practice instrument. I am not an engineer, so I cant suggest solutions, but my Adams and Yamaha padauks do not have this jumping problem. Maybe because those instruments are graduated and wider which gives them more weight. The M-32 is NON graduating, narrow bar, very light in weight-bars. Good luck, Scott Kitchen
