Ron Vaughn Tiny Bell mallets, ('TBells'), were introduced by Ron in 1978. Their shaft is 1/8 inch birch, (3.17 mm), with 1/4 inch, (6.34 mm) black grip sleeves. A balance sleeve was recently added to the ball end of the mallet to provide even better performance balance. The bronze/brass ball is 1/4 inch in diameter.
Ron's Petite Mallets remained a curiosity for only a short time as players around the world began to discover their unique contributions to performance and sound creation on bells, bell trees, and many other percussion instruments.
Performance Note: Jazz and Pop players have expanded the value of these tiny mallets for use on cymbals of all sizes in ballads and moderate dynamic compositions of all kinds. These TBell mallets speak with a clear, brilliant, quick voice on cymbal bells and surfaces. They easily hold their own in volume production when used in these softer pieces, and are irreplaceable for their clarity, presence of sound, and creative opportunities.
