I was a little worried these would be too hard when ordering them, but I was surprised upon receiving them. I would deem them more M-MH. They aren't too hard for the bottom register, and they speak decently in the top octave (you just have to give it a little more punch of you really want them to articulate). Good tone, a great mix of contact sound and bar warmth. I'm in love with the handles, nice and long, very thin, and a sturdy feel. Very easy to play 4-mallet stuff with. I'd recommend these to anyone who wants a general mallet set that has a little more articulation than the average general set.

These mallets sound amazing and weigh almost nothing. After warming up with my IP1003X mallets, I get a great tone quality and can play quick passages with ease with these mallets. Not to mention they look awesome.

I absolutely love the weight of the mallet paired with how it strikes the keys on the marimba. If you are looking for a high quality mallet, look no where else.

Bought these mallets on a whim in needing new better mallets than my Vic M 182. These Marimba one mallets are great; well balanced, good sound and light weight feel in the hands. Suggest these mallets to anyone who wants to buy them. They are worth the money.

I actually bought a second set. It is for my grandson Ben who is a Senior at the College of Wooster Majoring in Music Therapy. He had asked for them. When I opened the mallet page, I sent him an email and said help...which ones. He picked the ones above. Even though I knew he was so excited and they are going to make his music sound outstanding He has a recital coming up in February and we will get to hear also. He is outstanding on so many instruments along with writing songs and also having his own band. So...he knew exactly what was needed to sound outstanding. It always gives me such pleasure to give him what he wants. He is such a great musician and therapist, as he has been in clinicals for sometime now and also has his internship lined up already. Thanks

Just a little lighter, simpler, and clearer than the Wave Wraps, and right between the WW3 and WW4 for hardness. Great option for a simple, clean sound. Not too edgy in the bottom 2 octaves.

This is a GREAT mallet. 1: Its weight is right. 2: It has a good, unfinished birch handle that is pretty thin, but has a non-slippery grip. 3: It makes a really full sound with a good amount of articulation. 4: It looks cool!

These mallets are a great purchase if you're looking for a nice attack but still have warmth and depth. My only discrepancy is that on certain synthetic marimbas that I teach on, these mallets tend to have a "slappy" sound. But on rosewood, they are wonderful.
