Custom Made Marimba Mallets

Instructions !!!

- After you select the Amount, Handle Material, Handle Length, Handle Thickness, Yarn Colour you will be asked to do a Detailed Description. The mallets in the left hand will be 1\/2 and the mallets in the right hand 3\/4 you need to select the head type and hardness of each mallet and write it in the description:

Head Types -

    Model 2 (M2)    Model 3 (M3)    Model 4 (M4)   Absolute 2 (A2)

Model 2 - is a standart marimba head with very good balance. It is also used for heavy vibraphone mallets.

Model 3 - was originaly designed as a large xylophone head. When wrapped up in yarn it forms a beutifull bullet like form. It is also very good for dual tone purposes and the round form keeps the porous material from changing too much the overall form of the head.

Model 4 - is the largest heaviest marimba head we offer it is mostly preferred with thicker handles. Many musicians used it for heavy and slow pieces but they are some, that like to play all type of pieces with heavy mallets. If you have strong hand mussles and you like heavy mallets this is the head you are looking for.

Absolute 2 - is the absolute middle between model 4 and model 2. it is not as heavy as model 4 and is not a light as model 2. It is very preffered by modern musicians.

Head Hardness - Soft, Medium Soft, Medium Soft+, Medium, Medium Hard, Hard, Dual Tone Soft to Medium, Dual Tone Medium Soft to Medium Hard, Dual Tone Medium to Hard

After you choose your head type and hardness you are asked to explain the conception behind your choice: What sound are you looking for? What music pieces do you plan to use the mallets for? Everything that you think can help us understand you better and do our job correctly. We advice all new clients to get more familiar with our products and choose carefully the parameters before they order!

Example for Deatiled Description: Mallet 1 (left bass mallet) - Model 4, Dual Tone Medium Soft to Medium Hard; Mallet 2 (middle mallet in left hand) - Absolute 2, Medium; Mallet 3 - (middle mallet in right hand) - Absolute 2, Medium; Mallet 4 (most right mallet) - Absolute 2, Medium Hard. I plan to play many modern pieces and I want to have options for different sound in my set of four mallets

Short Example for Deatiled Description: 1-M4, Dual Tone Soft to Medium; 2,3,4 - M4, Medium. I need heavy and soundfull mallets for playing slow classic pieces
