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 Hard Marimba/Vibraphone Mallet is designed to work well across the entire range of both instruments, providing a little more cut than the medium model. This gives the instrument more presence in solo, duet, or chamber music settings.
