Great mallets, but a bit pricey imho.
Description
The Innovative Percussion IP300 Soloist Series Medium Hard Marimba Mallets are slightly harder than the IP275 model and are designed for use in the upper 4 octaves of a 5 octave marimba. This model features 100% wool yarn, birch handles and hard rubber cores that help to create a full, rich tome and warm fundamental.
Designed with the marimba virtuoso in mind, the Soloist Series is constructed using hard rubber cores, covered in a series of latex combinations. The mallets are wrapped is a 100% wool wrap, custom manufactured specifically for Innovative Percussion, which delivers a brilliant, rich tone with the warmest fundamental possible in all registers of the marimba. The series is offered on birch handles that are polished for the smoothest natural finish. Each step of production insures a mallet designed to meet the highest standards of today's most demanding marimbist.

A good starter mallet for the aspiring middle school or high school student. Sound doesn't cut quite as well when playing in the higher octaves but overall still a good investment.

The core speaks clearly just as described and the balance is pretty good. The handles are really nice and stick just enough to feel stable. The yarn itself adds a little "chiff" to every note, which is very audible. Additionally the wrap angles away sharply from the center of the mallet, so tilting up to change timbre is not terribly effective. It gets three stars from me for the chiff and less-than-ideal timbral control. Overall very good general mallets, however. I use and would recommend them when the the above two issues are not a factor.

Bought 2 pairs for my middle school-er. It's lighter than others she has, so it's easier on her hands. She likes them a lot!
O YEAH!!!!

I've had these mallets for a little over a month or so and I can say I love the way they feel. They are very comfortable and light yet produce such a bright and amazing tone. These mallets can be used on the low octave of a marimba but stand out in the upper octaves. These mallets are great for solo percussionist or concert percussionist.
