“The Encore Nancy Zeltsman Graduated Set was devised to provide an affordable means to try a graduated set if you haven’t already done so. This is a combination of mallets I use about 60% of the time. It naturally ‘voices’ most...
These mallets are very very good, they have a nice touch/sound right when it hits the marimba! :)

Amazing Mallets
Comments:
They have such a warm and full sound, this is my first pair of graduated mallets that I have bought and I could not be more happy with them.

Bottom mallet too soft
Comments:
These are very good mallets, but the bottom mallet of the graduated set is way too soft. Even in the lowest octave it is difficult to get a good sound with it. I replace it with a different bass mallet. The rest of the mallets are very good though.

not good graduating
Comments:
I like everything about these mallets except this combination - the bottom mallet is way too soft. They're arranged hard (2) - med hard (3) - medium (4) - soft (6), the gap in attack and volume between mallets 1 & 2 is much too large. Not a fan.
My pink mallet is in my bag collecting dust, I substitute a Mike Balter 84 for the bass mallet.

Great Mallets
Comments:
I love these mallets. They are lush, but they speak well through the whole instrument. The difference in hardnesses through the graduated set make this a great set of mallets for all around practice (for particular pieces) and for performance.

Very Good.
Comments:
Definitely help with the differences between the different hardness of strikes of each hand. Differences in weight is a little unnerving at first, but can be accustomed to.
