Glockenspiel Mallets

Bright, Cutting, and Clear

Glockenspiel mallets are designed to bring out the bright, sparkling tones of the glockenspiel and other metal bar percussion instruments. With harder heads than marimba or vibraphone mallets, they ensure the sharp, cutting sound needed to project clearly through ensembles.

Materials and Tone Options

• Rubber Heads – Softer, rounded sound for controlled dynamics and practice.

• Nylon or Plastic Heads – Bright and focused tones, great for ensemble and solo work.

• Brass Heads – Maximum brilliance and projection, ideal for orchestral settings.

• Specialist Options – Different sizes and weight grades give players the flexibility to match the music’s demands.
