The Robert van Sice Signature Keyboard mallets from Vic Firth feature a heavy synthetic core that produces a very robust and complete sound. These yarn wound marimba mallets have been crafted with an exclusive hand-wrapping technique that virtually eliminates the sound of bar contact. A special interlocking stitch pattern maintains the integrity of the head. The maple handles are 17″ long and provide an excellent feel and control. With a full depth of sound and excellent versatility of color, these mallets are the perfect choice for music from Japanese repertoire and pieces demanding multiple layers of timbre.
The M121 is a very soft mallet that produces a heavy and dark sound. These are perfect for the bass range of the marimba.

The heads on these mallets are very large, and very soft. The attack noise is minimal to nonexistent with these. I only purchased one pair because I didn't figure that anything I would play would call for something this soft for 4 mallet pieces, but hey, it might be a good idea to buy 2 pairs just in case. Incredibly pleased with these mallets!
