Salyers Earth Tone Birch Mallets - Hard

The Earth Tone Series ET100B hard hemp cord mallet works equally well on vibraphone or marimba. The hardness of the mallet core provides controlled articulation and volume. This works well on faster passages or as the soprano voice in a graduated set. The Birch handle appeals to the the player who wants a firm straight shaft. Birch is slightly lighter and maintains it's rigidity for longer periods of time.

The hemp wrap provides a unique articulation that works extremely well on marimba for rags, Mexican marimba music and many other styles. The hemp models are also great for marching ensembles due to their extreme durability and ability to project both tone and attack.

The Salyers Percussion Earth Tone Series drew its inspiration from the warm sounds of natural wood and metallic instruments. The yarn wrapped models feature natural birch mallets, 100% soft wool yarn and round rubber cores that create warm and rich organic tones. The rattan models have oval rubber cores and are wrapped in a super durable hemp cord. The Hemp allows these mallets to have a big fundamental tone and the unmistakable sound of a hemp cord wrap.
