Adams Alpha Series 3.5oct Gold Bar Vibraphone with Apex Frame is a high-performance instrument designed for serious percussionists who demand tonal richness, robust construction, and responsive playability. With a professional-grade Apex Frame and Adams’ signature gold anodized tone bars. This vibraphone delivers exceptional sound and portability for stage, studio, and education settings.

Materials and Build Quality

Spanning 3.5 octaves (F3–C7), this vibraphone features precision-tuned gold anodized aluminum bars. These bars are selected for their warm, resonant tone, offering excellent projection and balanced sustain across the entire range. The gold finish enhances durability while providing a distinctive aesthetic preferred by many performers for its visibility under stage lighting and corrosion resistance.

The Alpha Series is built around the state-of-the-art Apex Frame—crafted from lightweight, high-strength aluminum. This frame incorporates pneumatic height adjustment for player comfort, oversized locking wheels for mobility, and reinforced joints for long-term structural integrity. Every element of the frame is engineered with durability, transportability, and ease of use in mind.

Performance and Use Case

This 3.5-octave model is ideal for soloists, chamber musicians, university programs, and professional ensembles. The slightly more compact range compared to the 4-octave model makes it lighter and easier to transport without sacrificing essential musical range. The gold bars provide a mellow, expressive sound that blends smoothly in ensemble contexts while remaining vivid enough for solo use. Whether rehearsing or performing, the Apex Frame ensures ergonomic, stable support throughout.
