These professional standard xylophone mallets have barrel hard heads made from beech, shaped to maximise surface area contact when playing. This helps to produce a louder, broader tone and the hard beech will ensure a satisfying clunk! The heads are also quite lightweight which ensures a lot of control over a surprisingly large range dynamics.
As well as xylophones and woodblocks, these beaters could also be used to create interesting timbres on bass drums, gongs, cymbals, and bells. The smooth sticks are made from varnished white ash dowel. Sold as a pair.
