Detail 01

Grover ProTwo-Tone Chime Mallet Pm3 (Medium)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A medium two-tone chime mallet from Grover Pro. For percussionists who need two attack characters from one mallet.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestral players covering chimes without swapping mallets mid-piece
- Pit percussionists needing a softer and harder option on hand
- Section players building a first set of dedicated chime mallets
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting one fixed, consistent attack every stroke
- Anyone needing a hard mallet for maximum cut and brightness
- Keyboard-percussion use — this is built for chimes
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Two-tone head
Two playing surfaces on one mallet, so you change character by flipping it instead of changing sticks.
Detail 03
Chime-specific
Built for the mass and hanging tubes of chimes. Not a substitute for marimba or vibe mallets.
Detail 04
Sold as PM3
Part of a numbered mallet line, so hardness steps up or down predictably if medium isn't right.
Detail 05
$43
Pro-accessory pricing for a single mallet. Chime mallets get replaced rarely, so cost spreads out.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Sold as a mallet — chimes and damper pedal are obviously not included

- 03Check whether your part calls for a specific hardness before committing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this one mallet or a pair?
Chime mallets are typically used singly. Confirm the quantity at checkout if your part needs two.
02What does two-tone mean?
The head gives two different attack characters depending on which surface you strike with, so one mallet covers two sounds.
03Can I use it on a marimba or bells?
It's designed for chimes. Other keyboard instruments have their own mallet weights and hardnesses — use those instead.
04Is medium the right hardness to start with?
For general orchestral and pit work, yes. Go harder if you need more cut, softer if the attack is too pointed.
