Diversify Your Marimba’s Tonal Palette
Seeking the softer attack of a wrapped mallet but with enhanced focus and articulate playability? Sweetwater percussionists have found M278 Corpsmaster Iain Moyer signature mallets from Vic Firth make a perfect match! Constructed with an extremely hard mallet head core and wound with yarn, the M78 controls the tonal response of each bar with a clear and defined presence without the harsh attack and without causing any damage to your marimba bars. All the while, these hammers retain that traditional warmth that marimbists crave at virtually any dynamic level — from fortissimo swells to the gentlest subtleties. These mallets tend to work most effectively at the top 2/3 of the marimba keyboard; they can also be quite useful when doubling up for 4-mallet passages for both front ensemble and concert applications. Needing a bit more vibrancy from the response of your marimba? Keep a pair
