Larger, heavier round mallet heads on longer handles bring the xylophone to life with a big, rich tone and strong fundamental. The hard maple head on these mallets will cut through a large ensemble, while still providing strong fundamental and an earthy, dark tone. Maple is a less dense wood than rosewood, so do not fear for your bars - they will not be dented by these mallets. Rattan handles offer a flexibility and a feel that many players prefer over the rigidity of birch mallets.
