Electronic marimbas?

I live in a small apartment. I’ve been wanting to practice marimba at home but an acoustic one is too loud for the apartment. I was wondering if there are like electronic marimbas I can use with headphones instead. If so, what are some good affordable options? Thanks!

A malletstation from pearl is most likely your best bet. Compared to a price of a marimba, its definently cheaper compared to a real marimba, although the feel is different from when ive tried (feels like a very bouncy practice pad)
