The Encore NZ2B Nancy Zeltsman "Medium Harder" mallets speak very easily, and produce a clear, warmer sound-perfect for playing a melody with the upper mallet. These are intended for more general use than the NZ1s. Birch Handles.
One unique characteristic of my line is that the oval-shape of the mallet head is horizontal rather than vertical. I imagine (and maybe it's true) that the width of the mallet activates more of the vertical grains of wood in every bar-thus contributing to a richer tone. Everything about the construction of my line of mallets-from the cores, to the latex, to the type of yarn-is aimed at helping you to produce a fundamental-rich tone.

Wonderful Tone
These mallets are better and more durable than anything else I've played with. They're not too heavy and not too light. Highly recommended.
These mallets are perfect. They sound great on concert marimbas and will virtually last forever.
