Yamaha YX1030 3 Oct Table Top Xylophone

FEATURES

The YX1030PR is Yamaha’s 3-octave tabletop xylophone. It is designed to be easy for anybody to play and handle. Not only can it be played where placed without the need for assembly, but its compact and lightweight design makes it easy to carry and ideal for use in schools. We have introduced a Pao rosa material for our xylophone tone bars. Pao rosa has physical and acoustic properties close to the high-end Rosewood material.Additionally, the wide tone bars make the xylophone ideal as a first instrument for beginner users.

PAO ROSA TONE BARS

Tone bars made of pao rosa wood offer similar physical and acoustic properties to the rosewood tone bars used on our high-end models. Tone bar width has been increased from the 33 mm dimension used on entry models to 38 mm throughout the instrument’s range, matching the tone-bar width of our high-end models. These changes notably enhance dynamic range and provide a larger sweet spot for improved playability. The new specifications make playing easier for beginners, while also making it easy to transition to high-end models in the future. *Pao rosa is more susceptible to cracking due to sudden temperature and humidity change than previous tone bar materials. *Due to the action of natural elements in the wood, the surface of the tone bars might eventually become covered by white powdery residue. This will not affect the quality or performance of the product. Use a dry cloth to wipe off this residue if it appears.

3 OCTAVE RANGE

A 3-octave range is ample for school instruction and performance.

COMPACT AND LIGHTWEIGHT DESIGN

In addition to a compact 3-octave configuration, the YX1030PR features bars and frame that have been specifically designed using carefully selected materials to deliver outstanding tone in a remarkably lightweight instrument. A built-in handle allows the instrument to be easily carried by one person.

EXTRA STORAGE IN SMALL SPACES

The instrument consists of a frame with rubber feet that can be stored upright in a limited space. *The instrument will not stand on its own vertically, so it should be leaned against a wall with the wide (low note) end down. Left: Horizontal (no support required) Right: Vertical (support required)

DURABILITY

A great deal of effort went into ensuring that the frame is both lightweight and durable so that it can be used with confidence in school situations. The post is made of resin so that it will not bend and dampen bar resonance or cause unwanted noise. Conventional metal post can bend and cause widening of the attachment holes, loosening post components to the point that they can fall out. Resin post is flexible and will not lose its shape when force is applied. The base of the post is wedge shaped to reduce the chance of accidental detachment. *Only the end posts are metal, to provide the extra strength required at those points.

INNOVATIVE FRAME DESIGN

The wood frame is not only light and durable, but also contributes to improved tonal quality. By making the distance from the bottom of the frame to the natural and accidental bars equal, consistent volume is achieved for rich overall tone and resonance.
