Wrapped in an environmentally friendly bamboo-blended cord, the Casey Cangelosi Series Marimba Mallets combines the rich, warm tonal characteristics of yarn with the articulate clarity of cord. These mallets are built on birch dowels with a natural finish and allow for a heavy bass sound without sounding muddy or washy, a delicate touch for lyrical legato passages that speak from the mallet immediately, and a steady timbre throughout the dynamic range. The two softest mallets are also available with a soft yarn wrap.
The CGL1Y is a heavy mallet, producing a thick sound that is much less articulate than the CGL1.

These mallets are fantastic for producing a great, resonant, open bass marimba tone from about middle C down the instrument. However, just as a warning, these mallets are fairly beefy and are quite heavy. For me, the weight is fine and actually feels pretty good in my hands but I know of many percussionist who would be completely turned away on the weight alone.
