I have an Adams 4.3 soloist padouk marimba. I play only as a hobby and I am very happy with the choice I made. I've only had it a few months and I don't have the greatest ear but I haven't noticed any tuning problems. I do have a couple of bars that don not resonate consistantly with the bars around them but when I called the distributor It was hassle free. I was told if I wasn't happy with the bars those two would be replaced. It's been a short time so I haven't received them yet.

I did some research on padouk wood. I found that there are several species. I'm not certain which one Adam's uses but as best I can tell many of the properties are similar to that of rosewood and it is from the same botanical family. It is also a very pretty instrument. I think you made a good choice. Enjoy your instrument.
