Description:
|
The Multi-Frame II has replaced the Multi-Frame 2400, 2700, and 335.
Overview:
Multi-Frame II
Reengineered for Field and Stage
Building on the success of our original Multi-Frame system, we have reengineered several features to make an even better product than before. Highlights of the Multi-Frame II system include 1-1/2'' square pipe on three sides of the instrument, stronger 6'' casters with in-line locking mechanism, height adjustment by pneumatic struts and a new easy-to-use clamp. Perfect for indoor and outdoor marching activities, stage-show pits, percussion solos, and percussion ensembles, the Multi-Frame II instruments are sturdy, convenient and practical. Four models are available, including an Acoustalon ™marimba, an Acoustalon xylophone and two vibes:

Positive aspects of the product (pros):
|
Lightweight yet strong, gas springs a major plus, clean and classy looking
|
|
Cons:
|
Frame pieces sometimes have uncontrollable wobble
|
|
This is an excellent frame. It has a very clean, classy look, thanks in part to the gas springs providing all the support for height adjustment. The gas springs make raising and lowering the board a breeze, though sometimes the wingnuts work themselves loose, causing the board to spontaneously rise to its full height.
The rail is quite durable, and its method of attachment works pretty well, though we did have one of the posts break.
The clamps for this system are excellent, relying on the shape of the clamp itself, rather than on bolts and nuts, to support the loads applied.
The main problem with the frame is the lack of control with the angle of the endpieces. My board the past summer experienced problems with the low endpiece wobbling back and forth (twisting manner, not swaying), even though all the nuts and screws were tightened.
The black powdercoating also tends to scratch pretty easily.
All in all though, an excellent frame. Classy-looking, lightweight, sturdy, and easy to move.
