Description

Encore AT4 Adam Tan Series Medium Soft Marimba Mallets are crafted for players who need a versatile blend of warmth, control, and gentle articulation. Developed in collaboration with marimba artist and educator Adam Tan, these mallets are a core part of his signature series and designed for expressive mid-to-low register playing across a variety of musical settings.

Materials and Build Quality

Each AT4 mallet features a medium-soft synthetic core that produces a mellow yet clear tone. The mallet head is wrapped in a custom yarn blend that enhances warmth and reduces unwanted contact noise. The shafts are made from carefully selected birch, offering excellent durability and a natural feel in the hands. Weight-matched by hand, each pair ensures balanced performance and consistent response for both solo and ensemble work.

Performance and Use Case

The AT4 mallets excel in situations where a softer touch is required but articulation still matters. Ideal for mid-to-low register marimba playing, they provide the tonal warmth needed for lyrical phrasing while retaining enough clarity for subtle rhythmic passages. These mallets are perfect for soloists, chamber players, and students developing expressive technique. They’re also an excellent second or third mallet in a graduated set, offering tonal contrast without a harsh attack.
