Innovative Chris Lamb Orchestral Series CL-X4 Medium Hard Top-Weighted Synthetic Xylophone Mallets - Product Information

The Christopher Lamb Orchestral Series xylophone mallets are the result of over two years of meticulous development, offering a refined and exceptional performance. Designed with the unique acoustic properties of the xylophone in mind, each mallet is meticulously engineered with custom-moulded cores, strategically weighted to provide the optimal balance, feel and acoustic response.

The series caters to the versatile nature of xylophone performance, showcasing the instrument's playful character and its powerful presence in an orchestral setting. The wood-on-wood collection, featuring Honduras rosewood cores, provides a multifaceted perspective on timber and tone.

The CL-X4 mallet, with its 1" hard synthetic core, is a versatile medium-hard option, ideal for quick responses and a lively performance. Its blue colour adds a distinctive visual element. These mallets are an exquisite choice for musicians seeking to explore the full potential of their instrument.

Excellent Mallets

Comments:

These mallets are well-balanced and -weighted. My first use of them was playing Pirates of Penzance, and these were perfect for Modern Major General. (As an aside, it's possible a slightly harder mallet might be desirable for that tune on a rosewood instrument, but I used a synthetic-bar Adams xylophone and they were ideal). There's only a slight difference in sound between these and the CL-X5s, but the head is smaller and the feel is different.

Big sound from a small mallet

Comments:

The brass inserts give these mallets a big, full sound, even when playing from a low striking position, so you don't have to sacrifice volume when playing at fast tempos.

Bright, focused, but not too ticky

Comments:

While there is a full sound, the overtones at better heard here than with the CL-X5. This is a great mallet for any piece where the xylophone needs to jump over a big ensemble and blend at the same time. This is too much for a small ensemble. These also make crotales project more like chimes and it's awesome.

Beautiful

Comments:

A slightly fuller sound than the red ones. Can put a bigger sound on exposed excerpts with these.

a unique pair

Comments:

These mallets are great for making lighter, more playful excerpts easier to play. They have a nice front end on the sound even at soft dynamics but are weighted nicely so they still get a full sound out of the bars for louder playing. Many friends of mine that try these out comment on the way these mallets sound and feel.
