This light-weight, dual-tonal, wool yarn wound series provides improved dexterity and smooth rolling for today's accomplished marimba soloist. Extra soft marimba mallets are best used in the low ranges of the instrument, and provide the fullest tone with the least amount of contact sound possible - with correct execution, the listener will hear one solid, long tone rather than the typical 'fast notes for a long sound' technique percussionists generally need to employ. The light weight of these mallets make them easier to handle and move around, which is perfect for the increasingly demanding marimba literature being written today.
