Terrific mallets

Comments:

Gets an incredible tone out of the marimba, perfect for anything lyrical, sounds good on the whole register, would highly recommend to any percussionist.

Great overall! Doesn't sound medium-hard.

Comments:

These are well crafted and well balanced mallets! The color is really pretty and the shafts are that perfect grippy birch! I've only tried the 813's, and though they are labeled as medium-hard, they sound medium-soft at best. They sound very round at the lower-middle registers of the board, and don't articulate at all near the top. I haven't tried the hard mallets, and I probably won't if they will just sound like medium mallets. Again, if i wanted a soft pair of mallets, these would be perfect! Though it wasn't quite the hardness I was expecting.

Poor quality

Comments:

They Sound great, but within a week one of the mallets snapped in half without any strenuous use. Very disappointed.

Just what I needed

Comments:

Gets a great warm sound quality on all notes of the marimba. They came a little fuzzy and are not too appealing to the eye, yet they still sound great!

Fantastic

Comments:

These mallets are, quite frankly, some of the best I have used. They have great tone everywhere on the board except around G6-C7, which is not much of a problem, as using a graduated set of mallets usually fixes the issue for most works. Even if you are not a fan of rubber cores, I urge you to give these a try. The cores provide a great amount of rebound and a superb sound for medium intensity pieces. These mallets are inexpensive, and definitely worth the money.
