Marimba One Round Sound Birch Marimba Mallets - Medium

Marimba One Round Sound mallets are the perfect marriage of Marimba One sound quality and the needs of percussionists. The RSB3 is a medium mallet, perfect balance for the middle range, with a birch handle. Marimba One Round Sound series mallets...

They are alright

Comments:

Mallets are a bit more on the harder side. They are also quite light for those who prefer heavier mallets like myself.

Marimba Round Sound Mallets

Comments:

Hello, After the delay in receiving my Round Sound Mallets (however Steve Weiss did a nice thing and refunded my $8.95 shipping costs), the Round Sound Mallets (3) are disappointing. Here is why: I have 2 pairs of Round Sound Mallets from 2019/Spring. They are medium soft (3). So I ordered another 2 sets a few weeks ago. THEY ARE NOT MEDIUM SOFT, EVEN THOUGH THEY SAY 3. DID SOMETHING CHANGE IN THEIR MANUFACTURING PROCESS, WHEREBY THE 3'S ARE NOW MEDIUM HARD? I WOULD NOT HAVE SPENT MONEY TO ORDER THESE HAD I KNOW. This is the first disappointment in an order, probably "ever".

Good but off balanced

Comments:

The stick feels a little too light for the weight of the mallet head...Just a little off balanced

No no, these are terrible

Comments:

Marimba One decided to come up with an inexpensive mallet but what they've come up with is a mallet that doesn't even meet the expectations of other companies cheaper mallets. You may think it's worth the price but when you start to compare the sound of these mallets to basically any other mallet you begin to realize that these mallets are simply a rip off. Marimba One has done a disservice to their customers by advertising a mallet that does not come close to their description of perfect balance. Please do not waste your money with these.

Amazing mallets

Comments:

These are amazing mallets! Marimba one never fails to deliver with quality products even for relatively cheap mallets. These sound great on almost all 5 octaves of the marimba. The only downside to these mallets is the only hard messes available are 1,3 and 5 with no medium hard and medium soft available, YET! Hopefully marimba one pulls through with 2s and 4s.

Great mallet

Comments:

Very nice, clear and warm tone. If you prefer a hevy set of mallets this is not for you, but if lightness is somthing you look for its a great feel. I would recommend a graduates set The mediums start to lose their bite up past the high E flat (especially on Rosewood) and get a bit clunky In the Extreme of the lower register. The graduated set sounds absolutely Superb! Would definitely recommend to any serious percussionist.

Marimba One Round Sound Mallets

Comments:

These mallets are pretty good. They speak the whole way to the low end of the instrument and almost to the top. The tone is pretty good too, its not as rich as say the Bilic's but for 35 bucks, you can't beat it. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for a good general/practice mallets.
