The Vic Firth M114 Robert Van Sice Medium Marimba Mallets are the most popular model in the entire signature series. Offering unparalleled versatility, the M114 is designed to cover the entire range of the marimba, producing a singing, vibrant sound that is full of life.
Respected internationally as a soloist and masterclass instructor, Robert Van Sice designed this series with an exclusive yarn hand-wrapping technique. This construction virtually eliminates the harsh sound of mallet-to-bar contact. A special interlocking stitch pattern maintains the integrity of the head, while extra-long maple handles provide superior reach and leverage.

Some of the best mallets out there for starting out. They feature a great area of ranges that they're applicable to as well as having amazing build quality. I've been using these for 3-4 years now and they still sound beautiful. For any marimba player especially starting out these are my recommendations for starting out and finding your sound.
Great mallets! They are pretty front heavy so be aware if you're using them for 4 mallet pieces, they produce a great balanced sound and the range is great from the mid-low to high in my opinion.
I've been teaching for a few years now, and as long as I have this is the first mallet I recommend. A good mallet throughout the entire range of the instrument (once the yarn has been broken in).
Pretty good overall. Too soft for general playing in the upper octave but good throughout the rest of the range. The shafts are a little too long for my preference.
I use these for class and in my ensemble. Perfect for four mallet not being too light or heavy helping with control. Mallets also have a nice full sound.
