Salyers Earth Tone Rattan Mallets - Medium Soft

The Earth Tone Series ET70 medium soft hemp cord mallet is slightly harder than the sift model. It works equally well on vibraphone or marimba. These mallets work well when you're looking for a lighter touch on the bars. Less mallet strike noise. The flexible rattan will work well in mallet muting techniques

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.
