"I know Keiko Abe uses rattan but sound is definitely not her strong suit."
Tyson, what are you talking about?? She gets a fabulous sound out of her instrument!! She uses rattan because she plays using traditional cross grip which is VERY painful using birch mallets. Her new mallets + Yamaha marimba + plus her technique = unbelievable sound!
