This was purchased as a birthday gift for my son who plays in a Philharmonic concert. He says this is one of the best hard mallets out there.
The Marimba One Ivana Bilic model IBB1 High Soprano mallets are light and piercing, with crisp clear sound and articulation. It is designed for virtuoso passages in the upper register and aggressive contemporary-styled pieces.
Ivana Bilic wanted her new mallet line to emphasize the singing characteristic of the marimba, by relating the sound that each mallet makes to human vocal qualities. Her definitions for each mallet combine the ideal playing range for a mallet with the color/timbre of its sound.
These mallets are on Birch Handles.

These mallets are excellent! I love their gorgeous singing quality on the marimba, and they speak very well in the upper range of the marimba, great for soaring 16th note type passages.
It's a outstanding mallet, and worth the price. Like the mallet's description, it makes the marimba sing.
