Co-developed with internationally renowned performer Naoko Takada, these mallets are perfect for lyrical phrasing, blended ensemble playing, and solo repertoire requiring subtle nuance.
Materials and Build Quality
The NT6 mallets feature a medium-soft synthetic core wrapped in a custom yarn blend, delivering a smooth tone with excellent clarity. The wrap is durable and tightly woven to ensure even response and lasting performance. Mounted on lightweight birch shafts, these mallets offer strength, flexibility, and a naturally balanced feel in the hands.

These mallets also blend beautifully in small ensemble settings, allowing players to support harmonies without overpowering. Whether you’re a professional performer or a developing student, the NT6 offers the tonal palette needed for sensitive, dynamic playing.
