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.

My daughter was very happy with the mallets. I was extremely impressed with the service. Steve Weiss Music called me back on a Saturday after I had left a message in the general voice mail box the evening before. That level of service is practically unheard of these days. I will definitely be purchasing additional items in the future.
I've had mine for 4 years now and they have lasted through the thick of it! The only reason I'm coming back for more is because they are starting to produce a lot of contact noise in the upper range due to their age. However, the full tone and rich sound they pull from the marimba is incredible! A must-have for marimba players
Great sound out of these mallets and they are very well made. Right weighting for mallets and comfortable for 4 mallet holding.
These mallets are excellent. Totally safe for the bottom end of a 5-octave. They get a little slappy/tinky about C5. LOVE THEM.
These mallets are great for the intermediate player who is looking to expand their collection. Even though they're a little light for the lower register, with good technique and a little desire, they can speak well and cover a broad range. I suggest these mallets to most of my high school students.
