They have a great sound for marimba and vibes, my favorite rattan mallet by far.

Great mallets, every vibe player should have these in their collection / mallet bag.
Balter Blues - What can I say, you ALWAYS have a set in your stick bag. There're the best all around vibe mallet.
Fast service we are happy
Mallets have a great sound and they were shipped quickly.
Excellent workmanship and helps me make a beautiful sound.
These are a perfect all around mallet. They have a very good sound and I like the weight, heavy enough to get a full sound throughout the vibe, but not too heavy to be unwieldy. If you are looking to buy a vibe mallet that will get you through a lot of different repertoire, this might just be the one.
I have used and loved these mallets for several years. The last two pairs that I received, however, were not up to the previous standards. One pair has mallets of significantly different diameter and the other contained a ridge line in the rattan handles instead of being perfectly round. After some modification I can use two of the four mallets.
These mallets sound solid, they have a good weight to them. The mallet heads are evenly and tightly woven. The Downside: I purchased two pairs, and the pairs didn't match in size. The rattan are uncomfortably thick for four mallet techniques. These Balter Blues do sound fantastic. I may recommend choosing a different material for the shaft.
Good General Vibe mallet
my drum tech told me to use these for a competition that we had and they pulled the greatest sound out of my schools marimba that i have ever heard
These mallets work nicely for audition etudes and vibraphone work. They are articulate, but warm. They work well on the entire range of a vibraphone and the top 3 octaves of a marimba.
