jonnyboy Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Pearl Malletstation $999. Adjustable octaves, instrumentation etc. A malletstation cart with 10 keyboards would take up the same space on the truck as one giant marimba. 4-5 Octave marimba $5k, give or take. 300lbs. Takes up lots of space on the truck. Sound system: many groups already have one, might change a bit if you go all electronic. For the cost of a traditional pit you could buy every kid 2 malletstations (one for home use, one for corps use). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeN Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Someday a corps is going to try it, and regardless of if anyone else follows, it's going to be really cool. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mello Dude Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 (edited) Way past time this is done. They could cut pit spots (like it was supposed to ages ago), Sounds like a win win. Edited September 7, 2018 by Mello Dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you the agent for Atlas or United Van Line worried that these folks will cut into your business? The only pit spots I want cut are the synths who will drown out the tuba spots no matter how many you add to make up for the cut pit spots. Or are you planning that these spots go to danseurs and singers? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
