Hi all,
In "test driving" a marimba this weekend, I found that the mallets I'm used to (malletech Stevens) weren't at all appropriate for this particular marimba (a DeMorrow). This brings up two related questions:
1) Any DeMorrow players out there have a preferred mallet brand? The Stevens mallets I prefer just didn't have enough weight to them.
2) Malletech used to published a really helpful chart that detailed the hardness and weight of all their mallets. Does this information exist for other makers in some tidy location, or do I need to start compiling it? $20+ a pair gets pretty salty when you're just trying to find the right mallet...
Thanks,
Patrick
