Encore GRADB Nancy Zeltsman Graduated Birch Mallet Set

“The Encore Nancy Zeltsman Graduated Set was devised to provide an affordable means to try a graduated set if you haven’t already done so. This is a combination of mallets I use about 60% of the time. It naturally ‘voices’ most chord playing. In essence, this graduated set is an example of the way my entire line was designed to best flatter different registers of the instrument.

This Graduated Set of 4 Encore Nancy Zeltsman’s mallets includes 1 each of NZ2B Medium Harder, NZ3B Medium Hard, NZ4B Medium and NZ6B Articulate Bass. 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.”
