The Jewel Marimba was designed by Ron Samuels, Owner and Founder of Marimba One. Manufacturer of the world’s finest percussion keyboards and mallets, located in Arcata, California.

“I conceived the idea for what would become the Jewel Marimba after I had a dream of how to tune the bars to ‘Just Tuning’ to match the harmonics being generated in their respective resonators. Meaning, the harmonic structure of the resonators defines how we are tuning the overtones in the bars”. - Ron Samuels.

Marimba One’s marimbas, vibraphones, and xylophones are owned and cherished by world-class symphony orchestras and music institutions including: San Francisco Symphony, LA Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony, Berlin Philharmonic, Juilliard School of Music, Colburn School of Music, Boston Conservatory, Berklee School of Music, UCLA, Oberlin Conservatory and many more worldwide.
