The Encore NZ6B Nancy Zeltsman "Articulate Bass" mallets are a very rich bass mallet for general playing, with a bit more articulation than the NZ7. I use this as my bass mallet about 75% of the time. Birch Handles.
One unique characteristic of my line is that the oval-shape of the mallet head is horizontal rather than vertical. I imagine (and maybe it's true) that the width of the mallet activates more of the vertical grains of wood in every bar-thus contributing to a richer tone. Everything about the construction of my line of mallets-from the cores, to the latex, to the type of yarn-is aimed at helping you to produce a fundamental-rich tone.

These mallets produce one of the prettiest tones I've ever heard. They're on the lighter side, but even as someone who prefers heavy mallets, they still feel great. They sound best on instruments with thinner bars.
Awesome mallets
