Nelson-Wiggen Style 4X vs. Style 5X
By Stephen Kent Goodman
Lloyd Osmundson asked if there is a difference in instruments between
the Nelson-Wiggen 4X and the 5X (010203 MMDigest).
The 4X has a 28-note xylophone; the 5X has a 20-note marimba (with
tubular resonators) that are pitched exactly with the piano notes they
are teed into.
Both have expression capabilities that can out do a Seeburg KT any day
of the week. I believe both have snare drums and triangles exactly the
same size, and of course both have the famous "banjo" mandolin rail.
