Smooth, Resonant, and Versatile
Vibraphone mallets are specially designed to bring out the warm, sustained tones of the vibraphone. Usually wrapped in cord or yarn, they allow the instrument’s natural resonance to shine while giving players control over articulation and dynamics. From soft mallets that create lush, atmospheric chords to harder mallets that deliver clarity and definition, vibraphone mallets are an essential tool for jazz, concert, and contemporary percussionists.
