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&rdquol; 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 have had these mallets for four years now and they have never disappointed me. They evoke a beautiful sound from the bars, producing strong fundamental tone and melodic, mellow voicing. They work perfectly for "Land." I highly recommend. I now have mallet in this line. Very good buy!
When they were delivered they already looked as if they had been used for a while as the yarn had tiny strands sticking out of the yarn and that is why I gave it a 4, but the playing quality of the mallets is really nice. They're soft, but the sound is played out when the mallet struck the keyboard.
