Cynisca | Very Hard | Vibraphone Mallets
Soft feel. Smooth blend. Ensemble-approved.
The Mythic Series gives you a different take on the classic vibraphone sound. Unlike traditional cord-wound vibe mallets, the Mythics feature a yarn-wound head, offering a slightly softer attack and a generally warmer tone - perfect for ensemble playing where you want to support and blend in.
While yarn-wound vibe mallets aren’t as common, they fill an important role: they bring clarity without the edge and provide a beautifully smooth sound that fits right into the texture of a larger group. And if you want to step into solo playing? The Mythics still deliver - with enough articulation to cut through when you need it.
Bonus: The Mythics also translate beautifully to marimba, making them a great crossover choice when you need one mallet that can handle both instruments with ease.
Features:
Yarn-Wound Heads: Less common but ideal for creating a warm, blended tone - great for ensemble work.
Soft, Smooth Feel: Designed for players who want clarity without the bite of a traditional cord-wound mallet.
Vibe + Marimba Ready: Excellent crossover mallets that work well on both instruments.
Hardness Options: Available in four distinct hardness levels to match your sound and setting.
If you’re looking for something that brings warmth, balance, and a smooth, ensemble-friendly vibe, the Mythic Series is the perfect fit.
