High quality, simple, as advertised.

Cannot recommend enough. The marimba is all finished beautifully, and sounds great. The construction is simple yet sturdy, I assembled it with ease on my own in under an hour. All keys recieved were in tune. Mr. Monkman has been great thoughout the process, keeping everything moving. I have not gotten a chance to put on the resonators since I want to keep it quieter in my apartment, but the keys still resonate for quite a while. Literally unbeatable price point for a 5 octave! Here's a small video, forgive my rusty playing: https://photos.app.goo.gl/yvpgD37vaiib2W9n7

Excellent Quality Marimba, Exactly As Described.

I am a percussionist and music teacher and have dreamed of having a 5-Octave Marimba for as long as I have been playing (~15 years). The MK-Omnia has been an absolute joy to play. It looks and sounds as beautiful as its counterparts that cost 3x as much. Mr. Monkman has been professional, courteous, and prompt throughout the entire process and his commitment to providing a high-quality marimba at an affordable price for the common person has been a noticeable characteristic of his brand at every step in this process. I was nervous about this purchase, but I have been so happy I decided to buy my Omnia. It has opened up my access to another world of marimba literature in the 5-octave range and did so without killing my wallet! I have compared the sound to my school's Marimba One padauk and the Majestic padauk marimbas and it fits beautifully inside of a VERY similar sound profile of these brands. The graduated size of the bars, total length, and overall features are very similar to my school's Marimba One.

Insanely good quality, beautiful marimba at an unbeatable price

I found Monkman Studios by just randomly googling cheap marimbas. It’s been about 6 years since I’ve played a marimba and thought I’d look. I came across this site thinking there is no way a good looking marimba was at this price.

Of course there’s always the assumption of a scam, but the customer service Jesse provides really is top notch. He went over the top in showing me videos, jumping on calls, and had extremely fast communication. That, and knowing he used to live in my hometown and knew some colleagues I immediately knew it was legit and had to buy.

The service provided is high quality. I will say due to situations out of Jesse’s control, the marimba arrived later than expected. Throughout the delay however I was promptly updated on a frequent basis and Jesse clearly cared about getting the marimba to me as fast as possible.

Once arrived I was surprised at the quality! I knew it would be good from what was shown to me, but honestly it blew me away. The quality without a doubt competes with the bigger, higher priced brands. If you are in the market for a marimba, please just buy the MK-Omnia. You will absolutely not be disappointed. I’m so pleased that I’m coming back to purchase a Vibraphone once available.

Attached are some photos of how it arrives, and a few of the marimba (with my daughter having a great time too). I cannot recommend it enough, I am very happy with the purchase and would do it again in a heartbeat.

Excellent Marimba!

Upon discovering the website and encountering the enticing marimba price of $3,900 for a 5-octave instrument, my skepticism kicked in. The deal seemed too good to pass up, especially when compared to the prices of 4.3-octave marimbas in the market. Given that the repertoire I enjoy demands a 5-octave range, the offer was particularly appealing.

The quality of the frame surpassed my expectations, with an uncomplicated assembly process and no noticeable structural issues or blemishes. The lower octaves, in particular, stand out with a rich and resonant tone.

In my interactions with Jesse and Monkman Studios, the level of service has been exceptional. Jesse promptly addressed all my inquiries, consistently responding within a day. As my concerns grew regarding the shipping process, Jesse took the initiative to contact the shipper, providing reassurance about the marimba's whereabouts. This proactive and attentive customer service has played a significant role in creating a positive experience with Monkman Studios, ensuring a smooth and reassuring purchasing process.

Gorgeous!!!

Popping on to write a quick review... my son will post later when he gets a chance to record a video.

THIS IS THE REAL DEAL!!!! The MK-Omnia 5-octave marimba is gorgeous - both in sound and appearance. We never thought we would be able to afford a 5-octave marimba... we are so thankful to Jesse for giving us this opportunity to provide a quality instrument for our family!

As a musician, I've purchased many instruments, but I've always had a chance to actually play them first. I was nervous about purchasing something that wasn't even made yet... but there truly was no need to be concerned. Jesse was fabulous to work with and responded very quickly to each and every question we had.

Take the leap... you, too, can own your very own 5-octave marimba!!

Honest feedback on a 5 octave marimba!

My son is a music major, senior in college, looking for a 5 octave "something" to practice on for graduate school auditions. This is mom....I helped him look for practice marimbas with no resonators and found a few marimbas that were preowned, expensive but something to "look at"..Found Monkman Studios and was interested but skeptical..."too good to be true" Did a bit of research on Jesse Monkman and reached out....my experience with Jesse has been scary due to the way of the world, trusting someone you met online but an absolute 10! We decided to 'take a chance' and our experience with Jesse and Monkman Studio has been amazing! It is a trust with a bit of money but reach out with all of your questions and concerns...absolute transparency! Would recommend for the quality of the product and correspondence....(:
