Malletech GS7 Grand Soloist Medium Soft Marimba Mallets

A medium-soft, but articulate, round-headed mallet that produces a full tone in all ranges. Single-toned, on birch shafts.

The Grand Soloist Series has been producing big, fat marimba tones since 1990 under a different model name. They all have a rubber core plus an additional layer of latex — in other words, all rubber, all the way through. They are wound medium-tight with an extremely durable proprietary synthetic yarn that produces clear articulation even at pianissimo. They are wound at a steep angle, producing a nearly round shape. Now available in four hardnesses, as well as in graduated sets.
