It would be better for one to spend the $2,000 on a practice-marimba by Doug DeMorrow. I am a recent customer, and I love it. First of all, Paduak is horrible, because it is more sensitive to mallets, so its not a good representation of what your mallets will sound like on a rosewood marimba. Paduak can also dent very easily, so forget using hard mallets. Doug uses real rosewood. The only difference is that it does not have resonators, and the rosewood is a bit lesser grade. And better yet, for the $2,000, Doug will make it a full 5-octaves. I remember when I was renting a 4.3 octave Yamaha Paduak, and I had to hit the air to my left whenever I needed a note lower than the low A.
For student model marimbas by manufacturers, I am sure Adams and Yamaha do a pretty good job, but those things can even get pretty expensive too.
A practice marimba by Doug is well worth the hard earned money. Oh, and all the pieces fit together! :)
