Very hard
Identifies this model’s hardness within the Artisan Series.

Independent shopping perspective
These light gray Artisan Series marimba mallets use rattan handles and a high-strength synthetic yarn wrap specified for durability. Their very-hard designation places them at a clear hardness point in Innovative Percussion’s fourteen-model Artisan range. That series divides into seven cedar-handled and seven rattan-handled models, with consistent changes in hardness and tone from one model to the next. For a player organizing mallets by those deliberate series steps, this rattan model provides the very-hard option.
