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 Hard Vibraphone Mallet brings a lot of volume to the instrument, giving you a heated, zingy tone. As with the rest of the Dan Moore line, these mallets never stop producing a full sound.
