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

$34.95 USD

Description

Orpheus's music was said to be so great that even inanimate objects such as trees, streams, and rocks could be charmed by his Lyra's song. Our Lyra xylophone mallet is one of the most versatile mallets in our initial line due to its hybrid-plastic head material. Having characteristics of both rubber and plastic, the ball is capable of producing a wide range of timbres from the instrument. When played softly, the mallet has a warmness that is perfect for spots like Reh. 46 in Firebird but when played loudly it works great for the fast triplet lick in Kammermusik and for that quirky solo in Polka.

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.
