Description

Encore KANA5 Kana Omar Signature Soft Marimba Mallets are designed to provide a rich, warm tone with just enough definition to support expressive solo and ensemble performance. Created in collaboration with marimbist Kana Omar, these soft mallets deliver a beautifully resonant sound in the low to mid range—ideal for lyrical phrasing and nuanced dynamic control.

Materials and Build Quality

The KANA5 features a soft synthetic core wrapped in a premium custom yarn blend. This yarn is carefully tensioned to preserve warmth while ensuring clarity and consistency from mallet to mallet. The mallet heads are mounted on lightweight birch shafts, offering natural rebound and exceptional balance. Each pair is expertly weight-matched to provide a cohesive feel and sound, even during extended performance sessions.

Performance and Use Case

These mallets excel in solo literature, rolled passages, and supportive ensemble textures that require a warm, full-bodied tone. The soft core allows for subtle phrasing and dynamic sensitivity, especially in lower-octave melodic lines. The KANA5 also integrates seamlessly into graduated sets, making it a versatile option for players who need tonal consistency across the marimba range. Whether performing expressive solos or blending into a chamber setting, these mallets offer smooth response and focused resonance.
