Dr. Dan Moore, director of the University of Iowa percussion studio, helped develop these mallets to fit his personal style and liking. Made with rattan shafts and cord-wrapped heads, these mallets produce a sound that has been described as full-bodied, resonant, and even 'fruity'. They are also meant to be as versatile as possible, working just as well on marimba as they do on the vibraphone.
The Medium Marimba/Vibraphone mallet gives the player a warm, full sound on the low-to-mid range on the marimba while still maintaining a pointed articulation. For those lucky percussionists with an extended-range vibraphone, these mallets sound great on the low end, and can be used effectively as soft vibe mallets in a combo setting.
