In my humble opinion, Kelon instruments are not marimbas. When I was in school we used to call them "Plastiphones". The thing that attracted me (and most marimbists I know) to the instrument was it's incredibly beautiful, warm tone quality. Do violinists play plastic fiddles? Do woodwind players use plastic instruments? No, because wood creates a beautiful, warm, lush tone when it vibrates. Plastic instruments belong on the football field, not in the concert hall! Am I being opinionatd enough? I look forward to hearing other people's thoughts on this subject.
