Description

Designed in collaboration with celebrated percussionist and composer Robert Oetomo, the RO5B is engineered to serve as a go-to mallet for general marimba playing in solo, ensemble, or educational settings.
Materials and Build Quality
The RO5B mallets feature a carefully weighted rubber core wrapped in durable synthetic yarn, providing a consistent tone across the full range of the marimba. Birch shafts are used for their firmness and natural feel, giving players solid control while maintaining sensitivity in articulation. Each pair is matched for tonal consistency and physical balance to meet professional performance standards.
Performance and Use Case

They speak clearly in the upper register while maintaining depth in the lower range. This balance makes them ideal for a wide variety of musical styles—from intricate modern solo pieces to orchestral and chamber music. Whether you’re a student refining technique or a professional shaping expressive phrases, the RO5B adapts to the needs of your repertoire.
