I recently purchased these mallets and am impressed with their suitability for certain various passages in both 19th-century and 20th-century orchestral repertoire. They are relatively pointillistic in character but are reasonably tonal up to the forte dynamic. I definitely don't recommend them for louder passages interspersed with sustained rolls. They are certainly appropriate for various passages in the nine Beethoven symphonies but can be highly effective for other Romantic Era and 20th-century repertoire if judiciously applied on a case-by case basis. I like them particularly for several passages in Bartok's Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste. I highly recommend this product for purchase.
