The Double Helix Series was developed to bring out the warmth of the fundamental throughout the range of the 5-octave marimba. The relaxed yarn tension on these mallets enhances the smooth, dark attack of the mallet.

The exclusive patent pending “double helix wrap” technique allows you to easily identify each mallet in the series. Two strands of yarn are wrapped independently of each other, creating a woven effect. After one of the strands makes a revolution around the mallet head, the other strand makes a revolution, securing the previous strand. This locks the yarn in place and prevents it from unraveling. This unique method of wrapping provides our mallets with their distinct look, and exceptional sound.

I ordered these, along with the medium and hard Double Helix mallets for the but 2 get 1 free sale, and I love them! The colors are very nice and unique, so they're not going to be mixed up with any other mallets. I use them daily and so far they've been great! They produce a good, warm sound, and have a comfortable weight. I did sand the shafts so that it would be easier to play with four mallets, and they handled that very well. Overall, I'd definitely recommend to anyone who's looking for a nicer pair of high quality mallets !

Great Starter Mallets

I've been using these mallets from the start of my percussion studies all the way back in eighth grade. If you need just a good, long lasting, general mallet that will take you through the basis of all the rep you will need. From Bach to Keiko Abe these mallets are a great choice.

I love them!

First mallets I own and I love them. I feel so much confident playing with them. I don't have to hit as hard playing on higher octaves.

Wonderful mallets

These are incredible mallets. A bit heavy, but feel excellent when used in Stevens technique, and have a wonderful feel on the marimba. Worth every cent, especially when you catch a sale. These have a deep, warm tone that sounds amazing in all registers of a 4.3 octave marimba, though they are medium-hard. Medium would likely be too soft for the upper register, so for general use, these are the mallets to go with. They also look spectacular, with the colorful, yet subtle multiple yarn wrap and the etched birch shafts. I love them.

Excellent product!

These mallets are great for any musician ready to take steps further into a musical world. Great sound, excellent quality, birch handles are tough and sturdy, mallet heads beautifully woven for a great blending sound. These are a small audible difference than the mediums; the attack is a little louder. Definitely a little higher-range friendly. I recommend these and all of the Double Helix mallets for any marimba player.
