The Katarzyna Mycka Professional Mallet Series are wrapped very tightly with all synthetic yarn. The combination of synthetic yarn and the tight wrap gives the immediate response of the bar that is required for ensemble and orchestra playing. The heavy weight of these mallets brings out the warmth of the bars by physically putting into motion the fundamental frequency of the bars.
Katarzyna recommends using this very soft mallet for such pieces as Andrew Thomas' Merlin (1st Mvmt) and Matthias Schmitt's Sechs Miniaturen (2nd).

Sorry, I forgot to mention: Also, I discovered these shafts have a light finish on them, which I don't personally like. The finish makes them a liiiiiitle slippery when playing fast or loud rolls.
They don't get that great of a rating because I didn't get what I thought I was getting. The page says "Very Soft". I would classify these as Soft or maybe even medium soft. I compared the sound to what you get with an IP200. You only get slightly more ouwmmmmmm sound with these. I wanted a lot more ouwmmmmmm for "Very Soft". Still, get them if you want Soft-ish. :(
