Overview
21 cm Tuning Fork Mallet with Wool Head 2.5 cm Beech Wood Handle Black Head For Marimba Xylophone and Percussion

The tuning fork mallet with a wool head is a practical accessory for anyone playing a steel tongue drum, marimba, or wooden xylophone. The total length of the mallet is 21 cm, making it easy to handle even on smaller instruments. The round head with a diameter of 2.5 cm is made of wool and softens sharp transitions upon impact, resulting in a mellow and pleasant tone. The beech wood handle is straight, smooth, and lightweight. The mallet is suitable for beginners, children, and experienced players who want to have a spare or additional mallet on hand.

The smaller size of the head allows for precise hits on individual tongues or stones of the instrument and enables playing faster melodies. The dark-coloured wool head looks discreet on the natural-toned wooden handle, making the mallet well-matched to most instruments. The materials wool and beech wood are a traditional choice for percussion mallets, as the wood transmits the strike well and the wool softens the sound. You can use the mallet while practising at home, during relaxing play, at school, in a music class, or at performances.

The tongue drum is a popular instrument for relaxation, meditation, and music education, as it can be played without knowledge of musical notation. The right mallet significantly influences how the instrument sounds. The wool head provides a softer attack and longer sustain than hard plastic or rubber mallets. The mallet is lightweight, making it manageable for smaller children, and the straight handle fits well in the fingers whether played with the fingertips or the whole palm.

When playing, strike the instrument lightly and allow the mallet to bounce, resulting in a fuller tone and less wear on the head. For playing with both hands, it is advisable to have two mallets.
