I'm selling these mallets because I stopped using them about a year ago due to a change in my playing style. They are cedar mallets. I used them for "Two Movements for Marimba" and "The Wave," etc. They have a core sound, and the striking surface of the mallet is wide, so they produce a solid sound. I broke one, so there are three mallets, but they are about half the original price, so please consider them. No returns or exchanges. Please comment if you have any questions about the photos or price.
