Description
Encore NZ2 Nancy Zeltsman Signature Medium Hard Marimba Mallets provide the ideal blend of articulation, warmth, and versatility for marimbists navigating intricate repertoire. Created with the input of internationally renowned marimbist Nancy Zeltsman, these mallets are designed for detailed phrasing and expressive dynamics, particularly in the marimba’s middle to upper registers.
Materials and Build Quality
The NZ2 mallets feature a medium-hard core wrapped in Encore’s expertly woven yarn, engineered to produce a bright yet musical tone with a slightly more focused attack than the NZ3 model. The yarn helps control overtones and minimizes contact noise, preserving clarity and finesse. Built on flexible rattan shafts, they provide natural rebound and responsiveness, allowing players to move fluidly between articulations. Each pair is hand-matched to ensure consistency in pitch, weight, and balance.
Performance and Use Case
These mallets are perfect for repertoire that demands a brighter tone with controlled projection. The NZ2 excels in modern marimba solos, rhythmically driven chamber music, and ensemble parts where mid- to high-register clarity is essential. The attack is crisp without being harsh, making these mallets highly effective for expressive melodic lines, fast-moving passages, and contrapuntal textures.
Key Features
- Medium-hard core for articulate, focused tone
- Premium yarn wrap balances clarity and warmth
- Flexible rattan shafts ensure comfortable response and rebound
- Ideal for contemporary solos, chamber works, and ensemble playing
