1-5/16" Wood Disk Nick Patrella Xylophone Mallets with Rattan Shafts

The disk-shaped heads of the NPX (xylophone) mallets are made of cocobolo wood for maximum clarity and projection on the xylophone.

NPX mallets pull a fuller, clearer, and bolder tone out of the xylophone than do plastic headed mallets.
