The James Ancona Series IP2007 hard cord vibraphone/marimba mallets bring out bright dynamic qualities that complement any ensemble sound. Rattan handles are sturdy and flexible, putting durability and comfort in your hands. Suitable for both vibraphone and marimba, multi-ply cord used on the head will not only hold up to relentless practice but will give you great sound again and again. These hard cord mallets are ideal for lead parts on vibraphone, but are versatile enough to be used on marimba. The design and durability of this series is the result of James Ancona's extensive experience in the world of percussion ensembles.
