Innovative Jim Casella IP1002 Med Yarn Marimba Mallets

Comments:

Bought 2 pairs, the first pair is amazing, great range only have trouble on the upper higher ranges, except one pair had a splint in it. One pair was great and the other pair is unusable sadly, but I would buy again and I would recommend them to any intermediate percussionists.

Yeah, these mallets are the way to go for a beginner or if you need a good pair of mallets to play all over your marimba. I'm in a marching band and play with these all the time and let me tell you that they are my favorite mallets. The set I have aren't the best and I can see the actual mallet underneath the yarn, but it still produces a great tone and I love'em!

The IP1002 is a great mallet for both general-ensemble and solo-marimba playing. The moderate weight will be heavy when compared to Malletech Stevens, Burrit, and/or Wu mallets. The IP1002 produces a warm, clear, full-bodied fundamental sound. Beginners will notice light to fair overtones and moderate attack when played with beginner to intermediate technique. Intermediate to advanced players will notice great balance and leverage from the lacquered birch shafts that facilitate great dynamic control especially in the medium to high volume levels.
