Final Fantasy Adventure 'Endless Battle' arranged for four marimbas

[percussionist624]

Do you know of Gordon Stout?

[percussionist624]

I WANT THIS MUSIC!!. Do you own any mallet instruments yourself. I own a musser xylophone. My parents brought it brand new for my 15th birthday. And my ex-percussion instructor (whose a gifted percussionist herself) owns a 5 1/2 marimba herself that was once owned by the famous Gordon Stout. She is one of his ex-students.

Could use some more rolling, but this is awesome overall.

[Fedduh]

is this live played? or made with a midi program?

[phaseIIskater4]

@Fedduh I am working on making a real recording of it now, but this is just midi.

@phaseIIskater4 I hope you manage to make a proper video, because this is awesome!

[drummerman55]

wow thats awesome xD

although the only problem i have is that the instrument in the background is a xylophone and not a marimba haha xD

[phaseIIskater4]

@drummerman55 The image in the background is indeed a marimba... you can tell by the size of the bars and because this is 4 1/3 octaves. You can even see the low A key. Glad you liked!

[drummerman55]

@phaseIIskater4 im sorry but i cant help but think that youre incorrect. dont marimba bars get wider as they get lower in tone? and xylophone bars get longer as they get lower in tone. all the bars in the picture are the same width :S:S and the ranges can vary on both instruments cant they?

[phaseIIskater4]

@drummerman55 No, because most xylophones don't go down to a low A! Even a 4 octave xylophone only goes to down to a C, not an A. Not all marimba bars get really wide. For example, take a look at a Malletech marimba and a MarimbaOne. The bars on the Malletech are frickin HUGE compared to the MarimbaOne. Trust me.

@phaseIIskater4 we have a 4 octave xylo at our school and its F-F o.o

[phaseIIskater4]

@OSeanSanO that's odd because four octave xylophones are C-C

[OSeanSanO]

@phaseIIskater4 hey srry haha i found out! its a 3 octave F-C

[kewlguy323]
