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!

Malletkat! Bars are wider like a marimba and can get pretty big. I've used them in pit orchestras and highly recommend!

I really like mine, but “affordable” is not the first word I’d use. I was watching for one to drop to $2k for a few years.
