SchlagKraft Contemporary SV-40 Vibraphone Mallets - hard, rattan

Perfect choice for vibes in percussion ensemble and orchestral playing

SV-40 is labelled as  "clear cut“, which is our preferred term for what other brands would name “hard-very hard“.  Yes, it is a mallet for special occasions, when a really metal bar needs to be heard , to cut through the percussion ensemble, through those drums and marimbas around you…But despite its harsh and strong projection, this mallet will have more fundamental tone than most others you have played before, because of the head shape and size. The THINKING  and sound approach for this mallet comes from a marimba-background, and this is one of the reasons WHY it has a more clear and good fundamental tone than any other "hard“ mallet you have used before. This mallet is also perfect for ragtime and a full-body sound on any 4 octave xylophone. Especially low quint-tuned bars will sound wonderful.
