Marimba One Wave Wrap WWXB4 Medium Soft Birch Mallets - Product Information

The WWXB4 is a medium soft mallet with Gray/Cinnamon colored yarn and birch handles. The highest concentration of yarn is wrapped around the mallet's equator, creating an increased striking surface and a mallet that is more responsive than traditionally wrapped mallets. The Wave Wrap's blend of wool and nylon yarn minimizes contact sound and enhances articulation. Using Wave Wrap technology, the mallet is balanced to facilitate the ease of movement in the player's hand. The double equatorial wrap creates a chevron pattern around the playing surface and a distinctive wave on top of the head - two unique visual signatures for these finest of marimba mallets.

Videos and Sound Clips

Great sound, but low durability

Comments:

I've had these for a while but rarely played with them. They sound great, especially in the lower registers of the marimba. However, when I broke them out for the first time in a while, one mallet snapped when I was prepping in the air. That mallet shaft only hit the bar once in the entire time that I've been using them, yet snapped while moving in the air. I didn't notice any cracks in the shaft nor hear any difference in sound in my playing leading up it breaking, it seemingly just happened. Again, the mallets sounded great, but I don't think their strength lives up to their price tag.
