Ludwig Albert
Signature Marimba
A WAY TO PERFECTION, Adams Musical Instruments
The instrument Adams made for him is based on the Adams Custom marimba with the so-called Traveler Frame. The instrument has a range of C2 – C7 with bars from selected Honduras Rosewood, tuned with the “Adams Alpha tuning method,” the most advanced tuning method for marimbas in the world. Unique to the Ludwig Albert signature model are the beautifully dark-red stained bars with rounded accidental bars. Built on the Adams Traveler frame with low crossbeam and smooth, large wheels, the instrument has great stability. The beautiful “whitewash” stained rails and end-parts, in combination with the matt gold lacquered resonators, make the instrument a beautiful appearance on every stage. The Ludwig Albert marimba model surely takes a crucial part in his acclaimed sound production. Try it out, be surprised! A new design – the new model – worldwide release during 2024.
We are very proud to announce that again a marimba pioneer joins the Adams artist family. After Evelyn Glennie, now Ludwig Albert chooses for Adams. Extra special on this announcement is that Adams designed with the cooperation of Ludwig Albert the new Artist 5-octave marimba: The Ludwig Albert signature marimba is produced from 2001. This honour is for the first time presented to a European marimbist. Adams NL, 2011
Ludwig Albert is unmistakably an icon in the international marimba world. With his own marimba competition, worldwide masterclasses and his self-developed eight-mallet grip, he has influenced many young players in an particular way. Adams NL, 2022
