IP Christopher Lamb Orchestral CL-X3 Xylophone Mallets are equipped with a top-weighted 1" nylon head that is designed to have as much presence as any heavier model made of the same material.
Medium in hardness, these mallets would work well in a softer ensemble setting that requires a non-offensive level of volume, and their lighter weight makes the faster licks that much easier to play.
All mallets in this series have flexible rattan shafts that do not transfer any 'tick' to the sound of the bar.
