Lyra | 1 1/4" Hybrid Rubber | Med. to Hard | Xylophone Mallets

$34.95 USD

Description

Orpheus’s music was powerful enough to move rocks and trees. Our Lyra aims for the same energy. With a hybrid-plastic head that blends the characteristics of rubber and plastic, this mallet delivers surprising range. Play it soft and you’ll get a warm, round tone perfect for spots like Reh. 46 in Firebird; lean in and it’s punchy enough for the fast triplets in Kammermusik or that quirky solo in Polka. One mallet, a lot of voices.

These mallets are honestly way better than I expected them to be. They're heavy, which is exactly what I like, and the way they just travel across the xylophone without any effort is great. They're not very hard, but they're hard enough to produce a sound that cuts through the ensemble at loud dynamics. These mallets produce a very warm tone while still having a bit of edge. They're also fantastic for wood blocks, and produce a beautiful legato tone on glockenspiel.
