Mallets | MMB Music

The sound quality your instrument produces is highly dependent on the mallet you choose. In general, soft mallets produce more fundamental pitch and less overtone; hard mallets produce less fundamental pitch and more overtone. Large bars require proportionately larger mallet heads.

To assist you with choosing the mallets which produce the best sound for your instruments, Studio 49 now includes a mallet guide with each new instrument.
