Innovative Soloist Series IP240 Medium Birch Marimba Mallets - Product Information

The Innovative Percussion IP240 Soloist Series Medium Marimba Mallets are designed for use in the middle 3 octaves of a 5 octave marimba but offers more articulation than the IP200 model. The IP240 mallets feature 100% wool yarn, birch handles and hard rubber cores that help to create a full, rich tome and warm fundamental.

Designed with the marimba virtuoso in mind, the Soloist Series is constructed using hard rubber cores, covered in a series of latex combinations. The mallets are wrapped is a 100% wool wrap, custom manufactured specifically for Innovative Percussion, which delivers a brilliant, rich tone with the warmest fundamental possible in all registers of the marimba. The series is offered on birch handles that are polished for the smoothest natural finish. Each step of production insures a mallet designed to meet the highest standards of today's most demanding marimbist.

Comments: The main problem I have with these is that there is a lot of contact noise in certain parts of the marimba. From a distance the extra noise is not audible, but I'm sure it could be avoided. They do produce a very nice tone though. These are also good for cymbal and tom rolls, temple blocks, etc.

Excellent mallets!

Comments: This is a very good starting marimbist mallet. I began using using these for four-mallet solos because they were recommended by numerous instructors of mine; They have a nice tone to them. It is a part of the Soloist Series, so it wouldn't be good for a concert or marching setting, because it will not produce the enough sound. I also found the mallets very light, switching from a marching band setting, so I had a somewhat difficult time adjusting to these mallets. Overall, these are great mallets for any beginning marimbist, especially for beginning four-mallet players!

Good Mallet

Comments: This mallet is great for rehearsing and using to teach students, but I wouldn't use it live in a performance. It has just too much contact noise for my taste, and the good sound of the mallet doesn't compensate for the contact sound. Works best on a rosewood marimba.
