Why Choose the Premier 02RX400?

If you are looking for a xylophone with a more refined, traditional concert sound than student-level padauk models, the Premier 02RX400 sits firmly in the professional orchestral category. The Honduras rosewood bars give it the tonal depth, clarity and projection needed for demanding repertoire, while the full 4 octave compass covers standard orchestral and solo literature comfortably.

The adjustable frame makes it easier to set up for different players, which is especially useful in schools, music services, colleges and shared performance spaces. The braked castors also help when moving and positioning the instrument in rehearsal rooms, orchestra pits or on stage.
