General pit question incoming.
What mallets does your Pit use for the keyboard instruments? Brand, series, any information would be desirable.
Personally, I wrap my own mallets for the Pit just because I can and because our mallet selection is both vast in variety by limited in tone and weight variation. The most common sets are:
IP Casella IP001 (the softest ones) IP Field Series for Xylo, Bells and Marimba ProMark DV Series (Vibraphone)
For those that make their own mallets as well, what do you use? What kind of sound do you get?
My most successful sets are a set of wrapped cord mallets (xylo), lightweight rubber (multi-instrumental) and heavy rubber cores (marimba). Currently I'm trying to bring out the tone, possibly branching into multitonal mallets.
Enough about me. Discuss!
