Description
Encore LEYU6 Le Yu Signature Soft Choral Marimba Mallets were developed in collaboration with internationally acclaimed marimbist Le Yu to meet the nuanced demands of choral and lyrical marimba playing. Designed with sensitivity and tonal warmth in mind, these mallets are now discontinued but remain sought after by collectors and professionals who appreciate refined expression.
Materials and Build Quality
The LEYU6 mallets feature a specially designed soft core, wrapped in high-quality yarn to produce a lush, full-bodied tone. The yarn is tightly wound to reduce attack noise and promote smooth tonal blending. Lightweight yet durable rattan shafts offer natural rebound and responsiveness, supporting long phrases and subtle dynamic changes. Encore’s hand-matching process ensures consistent tone and feel across each pair, delivering professional-level craftsmanship.
Performance and Use Case
Tailored for expressive, slow-moving passages and choral textures, the LEYU6 mallets excel in music requiring warmth, blend, and lyrical tone production. Their soft response and low-end resonance make them perfect for solo repertoire, chorales, and emotionally driven ensemble work. While no longer in production, these mallets remain a favorite among discerning performers looking to maintain a specific tonal color in their collection.
