Two of the greatest vibes players have designed mallet lines for Malletech. These lines are made like no other vibe/marimba mallets. Their rattan handles are measured for length, diameter and flex. The cores are tested for hardness and the wraps are counted as the heads are wound. The 100% nylon tight-weave yarn resists wear and actually sounds better with use. We frequently hear from players who own sets purchased 10 or 20 years ago - and they are still making music. The finished mallets in a set are individually weighted to not vary more than seven one-hundredths of an ounce.
The famed (but rare) vibes mallets originally handmade by Fred Albright, now updated by vibes phenom Stefon Harris and made available to the public by Malletech.

This mallet brings out more of the dark tones of the marimba and vibes. The attack tone is free of yarn noise and slap, great for recording or chamber use.
