Carefully selected Honduran rosewood bars are finished with a specially developed lacquer to ensure optimum sound. Tuned through the sixth overtone by Adams' skilled tuners. For an instrument that's balanced through the entire range, there are no short cuts taken. The resonators are carefully designed to amplify the fundamental note of each bar and to give maximum sustain, volume, and clarity. The patented voyager system allows easy adjustment over a wide range of playing heights. Can be expanded to 4-2/3 or 5 octaves by purchasing the appropriate conversion kit.
