Bell Mallets

Bright, Clear, and Defined

Bell mallets are essential for glockenspiel, orchestra bells, and other tuned metal percussion. Designed with harder heads than marimba or vibraphone mallets, they produce the crisp, cutting tone needed to project through ensembles and bring melodies to life. Whether you need sharp clarity for orchestral performance or durable options for education, the right pair of bell mallets ensures precision and projection.

Materials and Tone Choices

• Rubber Heads – Softer, rounder tones for more delicate passages.

• Nylon Heads – Bright and focused, with strong projection.

• Brass Heads – Powerful, metallic tone for maximum cut in orchestral settings.
