Marimba One Mallets

The Double Helix Mallet Series is a mid-weight line that we developed to bring out the warmth of the fundamental throughout the range of the marimba.

The Double Helix are made with one synthetic yarn and one wool yarn wrapped with relaxed tension.

Each mallet in the series evokes a warm deep tone from the keyboard.

The six mallets in this series are available with birch or rattan handles.

Our Wave Wrap™ mallets feature a clear sound across an expanded range of the keyboard. It is our most articulate and responsive series to date, and is available in both rattan and birch handles.

Increased Striking Range and Responsiveness: The highest concentration of yarn is wrapped around the mallet's "equator", creating an increased striking surface and a mallet that is more responsive on a larger range of the keyboard than any other mallet.

Articulation and Balance: The Wave Wrap's™ blend of wool and nylon yarn minimizes contact sound and enhances articulation. Using Wave Wrap™ technology, the mallet is balanced to facilitate the ease of movement in the player's hand.

Beauty: The Wave Wrap creates a chevron pattern around the playing surface and a distinctive wave on top of the head - two unique visual signatures for these finest of marimba mallets.

The Ivana Bilic Signature Mallet Series was developed to emphasize the singing characteristic of the marimba by relating the sounds each mallet makes to human vocal qualities. This is a mid-weight series with six grades of hardness, and is currently available with rattan handles.

Ivana's series consists of five wool/synthetic yarn mallets and one wool/wool yarn mallet.

The wool yarn warms the sound, the synthetic yarn provides articulation.

In describing her mallets Ivana has created a scale that utilizes the language of vocal range and timbre. Her definitions for each mallet combine the ideal playing range for a mallet with the color/timbre of its sound. Note: The scale follows a hard to soft progression, but loosely, as hardness alone is not enough to define each mallet.

Model #	Singing Quality	Yarn Color	Hardness	Handle
IBR1 or IBB1	High Soprano	Navy Blue/Turquoise	Very Hard: Synthetic/wool	Birch or Rattan
IBR2 or IBB2	Singing Tenor	Navy Blue/Sea Foam	Medium Hard: Synthetic/wool	Birch or Rattan
IBR3 or IBB3	Boy Alto	Navy Blue/Cream	Medium: Synthetic/wool	Birch or Rattan
IBR4 or IBB4	Dramatic Baritone	Navy Blue/Lavendar	Medium Hard: Synthetic/wool	Birch or Rattan
IBR5 or IBB5	Smooth Bass	Navy Blue/Purple	Very Soft: Wool/wool	Birch or Rattan
IBR6 or IBB6	Power Bass	Navy Blue/Blue	Medium Soft: Synthetic/wool	Birch or Rattan

The Katarzyna Mycka Professional Mallet Series was developed to project maximum sound in orchestral and ensemble settings.

Each of these weighted mallets is wrapped very tightly with two strands of synthetic yarn.

The heads, tightly wrapped in Nylon, provide excellent articulation, while the heavy weight yields an immediate response from the keyboard that is required for ensemble and orchestra playing.

This heavier mallet weight brings out the warmth of the marimba by physically activating the fundamental frequencies in the bars. Katarzyna's series consists of seven mallets in varying hardness, available with both birch and rattan handles.
